october 20, 2021 | I would make this recipe againLoved it! The barley really absorbs the broth, so you want to add additional broth. I made a big pot and froze the extra.

october 20, 2021 | I would make this recipe againWhat a great dish! The family really loved it ... but the barley really soaks up the broth so you will want to add a bit more. Will definately be making this again!
