Really good! I added 1 more clove of garlic and 1/4 tsp pepper. Threw everything in my crockpot for 3 hours on low and 3 hours on high. It looked lovely and tasted even better! I'll have to remember this during cold season. -
Delicious soup! I made just as directed and hubby and I loved it. Have leftovers for today. Thanks!

Great soup for the cooler days. It may still be August but we have had rain and wind and cooler temps. Dh and I both enjoyed the soup tonight. I only things I did differently were that I used regular slow cooking barley and a dry chicken soup base and water instead of canned broth. This was very much like Chicken Noodle but the barley in place of the noodles made it heartier as well as supplying a welcome change. Very simple to make and the portion size is generous. The health factor is also excellent. Thanks Mary for posting this.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
