  1. This was delicious! It was just what I was looking for, very simple and very tasty. The last time I made this I added some cabbage, dill and barely; I cut back on the sugar and I didn't puré in the end because of the barley, it was still very good, just more hearty. This is now a staple recipe for me. Thanks!
