Left over lamb roast cut up, pile of chopped carrot, a parsnip, some onion and a handful of chopped parsley. Used up some chicken and beef stock I had. And of course barley. S&P.
Came out pretty damn good! Always forget how much barley swells! Ended up with a FULL pot. Lol.
That sounds good..... I know what you mean about the barley swelling....my recipe yields about 1.5-2 quarts of soup....that's with 1/4 cup of barley.... Due to scar tissue in my throat caused by radiation treatments a decade ago I like my soup a little on the mushy side so I soak the barley like you would beans....
