I love whole meal soups! If you’re like me, I suggest you have a look at my One Pot Lasagna Soup, and this Tomato Vegetable Hamburger Soup. They are both so very delicious.

There’s nothing is more comforting than having a large bowl of a hearty, chunky soup. Then having a second one, because you decided you’re going to eat soup, and only soup for dinner. I do this often with my Loaded Baked Potato Soup.

Which barley is best for soup? Pearl barley is what you need to use for the best results.

For the paleo and gluten-free options, simply replace barley with white rice. You won’t be disappointed, I promise.

    Thank you! It looks exactly like what I’ve been looking for – I have almost all the ingredients and yet never used them in this combination. Hope my kids like it.

    Tuscan Barley soup with turkey sausage I must say it one COMFORT home-cooked soup. Nothing like home-made soup and especially for the winter months. I make home-made soup at least 2x a week and can never get enough of it. We even eat it for breakfast..so hot & full of good nutrition

    I’ll be honest. I don’t cook with barley. I do know I should and I am not sure why I don’t. Even today I got out my frozen turkey stock I made from the Thanksgiving turkey and made homemade soup for everyone to feed on during this lazy Sunday at home. I’m kinda inspired by this recipe. Thanks Tammy.
