"I came up with this recipe after I intended on making mushroom soup and realized I didn’t have any concentrated chicken or beef broth, So I scrounged around in the cupboard and found beef bouillon cubes from my MIL. Since we currently only have 3 peeps in our house, we have lots of leftovers. I suspect that after it sits in the refrigerator that the barley will absorb the broth and make what I refer to as Glop, LOL!. So you may want to add more water to the leftovers before reheating. Optional of course."
