I like the presentation in what appears to be in an Ol-Blue enameled bowl---no matter --it looks country good and comforting and my family loves barley!!

Saved to my recipes! I think this will be my new recipe to try this weekend! Have been loking for a nice soup to maybe pack for lunch. Looks fairly healthy too which is a plus!

One question, what tomato sauce did you use?

This soup is great for lunches. It tastes even better leftover. I think I used S&W brand tomato sauce. Enjoy!

Made it yesterday, only thing I did different was use corn instead of greenbeans. (not a fan) It was very good! Made a weeks worth of lunch for me so I froze some in some tupperware bowls. Thanks again!

Corn would be really good. I would like corn but my son is not a big fan of corn.
