Sunday I cut up some beef into bite size pieces and put it in a pot to boil. Then I cut up 2 big onions and set them aside. When the meat was tender I added the onions, some dry onion soup mix, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, some frozen peas, a can of corn, a can of green beans, 4 garlic cubes and some barley. ( This was my first time to try barley.) Oh my goodness it was so good. My husband kept going on & on about how tasty it was. I make lots of good soups. I think this is one of my favorits. Have you tried using Barley in soup? Did you like it?

I am sorry to say that I am not a good cook at home. My wife cooks. I only cook when I am alone. I would like to taste the soups made by you if I had a long enough mouth. Lol

You are so sweet, friend. I think that I have already smelt the wonderful of the soup already with your nice and kind response. Thank you so much for your kindness.

LOL I wish I could hand you some soup through my PC. Ask your wife to put some barley in your soup.If you can't get barley I'll send you some. Send me a PM if she can't find it. :)

Pick up a box of barley when you shop. I am getting more. I think it would make a good hot cereal on cold days. :D

I have never eaten barley in a soup. I don't think that I have ever had barley. I will try it sometime. I love soup on a nice cool day or a rainy day. It is too hot right now for soup here.

Never tried using Barley before because it is not available in our local grocery store. I might try your recipe using other stuff though. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

That sounds like a delicious soup. I haven't used barley in soup yet, but will try it out. My favourite soups are pea and bean soup. Yummyness.
