Judy this looks yummy. I think I'll have to wait until the weather gets cooler before having a go at the recipe though.

Thanks Bonsai, we are enjoying a cooler week here so I thought I'd slip in a soup meal  ;)

I love barley in soups. Like Bonsai I think I will wait for the temperature to fall under 30 for this. If it ever does. I'm now quite happy with anything up tom35 degrees and don't feel too hot.
