I was surprised at how good this came out! Actually better than any other mushroom/barley soup I've made!

Just great! SO very easy - it actually lives up to its name! We like ours a bit thicker than this has come out at the end of cooking, but I plan on cooking a little longer w/the lid off (we live in CO - it's all about evaporation!) to get it to thicken a bit. Otherwise, might toss a bit in a blender and add it back in to thicken it up that way. **MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING PEARLED BARLEY OR SOAK YOURS ACCORDING TO PACKAGE DIRECTIONS if it's not - barley that is not pearled will take forever to cook otherwise (it looks like this got left out of the ingredient info).

I liked this. Reason I gave only 3 stars is cos compared to other soups I make, i can only eat a little bit of it. Just can't eat that many mushrooms! Soup itself is lovely.

I followed the recipe first and found it to be somewhat bland. Pretty much just chicken broth or chicken soup flavor. I tried doctoring it up but quickly learned it tasted best before tinkering. Just a tip, if you think the soup is decent upon first try, you may want to leave it as is. This soup was okay, but I won't be making it recipe again.

This is the easiest recipe to make and it's a perfect combination of veggies and barley. Just like mum used to make! I added ~ 4 cups additional broth because I like my soups with more liquid and it was perfect! Highly recommended!!!!

I fixed this recipe according to the recipe and then tweaked it a little when it was almost done. First, if you like veggies, add more carrots, celery and onion. Next time i will triple or double it. I added more garlic too. When i tasted it the first time, it was a little flat so i added about 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano, and 3 drops of Tabasco. If you really love mushrooms, you could totally add more. I used baby portabellos which were really nice. Overall, this is a good recipe. I enjoyed it!

Very nice! Here is idea you might also try. Put the barley on a sheet pan and toast lightly in oven at 350 degrees for about 5 mins or longer depending on your oven. It really brings the barley flavor out!

Thank you, this is remarkable, and all in one pot! Made this today on a true winter's day - snow flying everywhere . . . the family wolfed it down (added bonus: the house smells amazing!) Unfortunately, there are no leftovers, so next time I'll double the recipe. I added some fresh dill the last 20 minutes, and also threw in some leftover meatloaf (chopped into bite-sized pieces). This is definitely a keeper! Thanks again.

The flavor of this soup was really good. However, in the future I will follow the instructions on the barley bag and pre-soak it. After simmering the soup for 1 hour, I found the barley wasn't cooked enough. I continued to simmer for another 30 minutes and the barley was fine, but some of the stock had boiled down at that point.

I am always looking for simple and tasty soups to have in winter. This fits the bill. I used various shrooms and extra carrot, onion & celery to finish them up. Very good!

Great flavor and very to make. No need to add salt. I would not use a whole cup of barley as some readers have suggested. There almost isn't enough broth as is-this is a soup, not a stew. Perhaps the type of barley used is the issue. I use Quaker Medium Pearled Barley.

I think the recipe had potential. I made it as instructed. Some flavors in the soup clashed. Definitely did not like the carrots. Will have to make some adjustments.

This was excellent! I thought the barley was still too firm at 50 minutes - allow a little more time if you like it tender. Great flavor though, thanks for this recipe!

I followed the directions exactly and loved the soup! This is a great basic recipe to experiment with - next time I will double or triple the carrots and celery to get more of a vegetable soup. A bay leaf would also be good.
