Cook's Notes

Quick-cooking barley has been hulled, steamed, and then dried, so it will become soft and plump in 10 minutes as it simmers in broth with chicken and aromatics.

    OMG! This is so good! The only thing I did different was add kale instead of the spinach because that's what I had in the fridge. Super good, hardy, and my house smells incredible! This is a keeper for sure!

    So good. The spinach makes it extra special. If you don't have barley, brown rice works great too!

    This is a very satisfying soup and a great way to use up spinach. Have made it several times.

    The spinach makes this soup phenomenal. I saw it last week on the show and just made my third batch today since I'm having my adult kids for dinner.

    Easy, delicious. I could not find quick-cook barley, so I used regular barley and cooked it separately, then added it close to the end of cooking. Next time I think I will omit the thyme.
