Delicious hearty soup, just like my Grandma used to make. I loved her barley soup. I subbed chicken thigh meat for the turkey breast, but otherwise made as written.

Delicious! A full flavored and hearty soup, thinking barley is one of my favorite additions to soups. Not having turkey breast on hand I did sub with chicken, being a turkey lover you can be sure I do have it on my shop list for the next making! I think Chicken breasts made for an equally good tasting soup. Been added to my cookbook.
