yummy! I left out the scallions because I didn't have any in the house but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. mine came out a bit too salty but that was probably because my chicken broth was saltier than I thought, so I added a whole potato to absorb the salt and it was perfect! will definitely make again.

This is a delicious filling soup. I used veggie broth to keep it vegetarian, skipped the scallions & parsley, and adjusted some of the other ingredients to make a batch that kept my husband and me in lunches for the work week. Here's what I used: 1 large onion, 2 garlic cloves, 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1/2 lb. barley, 9 cups broth, 1 T salt, 10 oz mushrooms, 2 T soy sauce, black pepper to taste. I'll make this often!

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
