Lentil Barley Soup
This is one of the heartiest soups I’ve made. It has vegetables, lentils and barley, and a comforting rich thick consistency that makes it a perfect meal on its own.
What I love about this soup is that everything goes in one pot and after an hour, the soup’s ready to be served, and I didn’t even have to work hard! The soup will fill your kitchen with amazing smells and your family will thank you for it. Get ready for a new winter favorite that will surely feature regularly on your meal rotation.
