One bite of this soup and you’ll be whisked away to the hills of Tuscany. I’m assuming Tuscany is hilly, because I’ve never been there. However, according to several romance movies that take place in Tuscany, it is quite scenic and filled with gorgeous people who speak the language of amore and help you carry your jugs of chianti back to your villa, which is located on a hill. Awesome. So anyways, back to the soup and how it will take you there… Barley is incredibly earthy and luscious. The spinach and tomatoes round out this thick and creamy soup. They also add a delightful color and make the soup gorgeous – much like the Italian who is carrying your jug of chianti.
Ingredients (in no particular order): carrot, celery, spinach, tomato, homemade vegetable stock goodness, barley, salt, pepper, onion, olive oil

Ok, I will be the first to say that barley soup never appealed to me. I actually have had it before but it always looked like someone accidentally placed dried oatmeal in my soup :( This soup was very creamy and the vegetables complimented this soup so well :) The barley made the texture so outstanding and now I can say that I like barley :) I will definitely order this soup again and again!!!
I did not like this soup. At all. The texture was almost slimy. I can say that this is the only soup I have ordered from Soupergirl that I didn’t like. All the rest have been fantastic. I guess you can’t bat 1000 all the time.
Loved it! It was hearty enough for a meal and tasted like a farmer’s market in a bowl.
