This is one of my favorite soups right now. It’s super cheap and filling to make, not to mention — extremely delicious.
I created it specifically for the Plant Based on a Budget Challenge and since it was a hit, I thought I’d make its own recipe page.
If you try to eat gluten-free, you can easily replace the barley with brown rice, just modify the recipe.
