  1. I did saute everything, but, that was just preference on my part. This is a delicious soup---my son and husband added a little hot sauce and raved about the flavor of the soup. They really liked the lentil and barley combination. Thanks for sharing this, Tish. In my family's words "this is a keeper".
     
  2. I like that I didn't have to saute everything first, just drop it all in the roiling pot of lentils and barley. This is a winner. Mahalo!
     
  3. Easy and delicious. I've made this twice already. The first time I didn't have any cabbage, and the second time I used red cabbage. Both were great and disappeared quickly. Even my 25 year old son ate it up. A dash (per bowl) of hot pepper sauce really makes it good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
