I made this tonight for dinner and it was Outstanding! So Delicious! I added garbonzo beans and the barley you suggested and guessed at about 1/4 cup of barley and it was perfect! I sent a generous portion next door to my neighbor who recently lost her husband. She hasn't felt like cooking. She texted almost immediatley stating how good it was! It's Definitely a, "send some to the neighbors" worthy soup! Thanks so much!

@@rebeccabouranis7674 ~Rececca, I'm not the person U asked, but I did make John's soup tonight. 🤗 I ran to the store & got some Bobs Red Mill Pearl Barley. They had various directions on the bag & the one for soup said that after you rinse/drain one cup of the grain, add it to the soup & let it simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. It was yummy! I made the soup just like John did, except I added a leftover Parmigiano-Reggiano rind.. Those rinds are ALWAYS so delicious in soups! I'm glad I made his veggie soup & I'm glad I tried pearl barley! 😋 NUM!!

I make soups during the colder months; I find prepping mirepoix (onion, celery, carrot, garlic) and the holy trinity (onion, celery, peppers, garlic) beforehand is super helpful. They both freeze well until you need them, a great base for any soup or chili. I know garlic is not an ingredient in those two, but for any soup or chili I'm gonna make it will be in there so get over it.

I'm recovering from Covid and I'm craving soup. So, I'm joyful to try out your recipe later because this version is somewhat prepped but still keeps the homemade touches. Thanks!

John, this is now my favorite vegetable soup. I made this just how you did in this video and it is so good!! Delicious and healthy. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

I love all of your recipes, I have tried many. I especially like your presentation. You don’t have any winded explanations, you just get to the point, LOVE THAT. Thanks so much. Question, do you have a recipe for a fresh cucumber salad? My grandma used to make one where I believe she soaked the cucumbers in salt and used sour cream and other ingredients, it was such a fabulous summer dish.

Thanks again John; I made this in my huge electric roaster yesterday, I used to the chicken stock. Today, the flavors had really soaked into the veggies after resting in fridge overnight. Awesome flavor. 🍜

So I've been loving my allium mix of leeks, onions, shallots, scallions, chives, and garlic, sauteed with thyme and a new favorite Savory. I've been known to make up batches of this and freeze cupcake size amounts for later use. Vegetable wise I love squash either summer or winter varieties (I dehydrated patty pan squash so available year round) and lastly some stewed tomatoes and some canned beans.

Ooo, this looks great. I'm looking for new soup recipes for the coming fall and this is absolutely joining the menu! Update, 2/10/23: So after making this a few times for my elderly father, I did a few tweaks. He has issues swallowing so all the veggies are cut up into pretty small chunks. I reduce the quantity of veggies so we have more broth. Leave out the potatoes and corn, and use French cut frozen green beans. Sometimes I add a cup of tiny star or alphabet noodles. As I make my own veggie stock, I use more veggies and get an extra rich version to make up for the reduced veggies in the soup. This is such a good recipe. It's so easy to customize. And it's amazing served with fresh cornbread or cheesy croutons on the side.

You read my mind! I was recently looking for a good vegetable soup recipe.. so I'm secretly switching out the one I found, for this one! Thank you! ❤

Omg...I just made this soup last night... fantastic!! I'm not a cook by far but this is an easy recipe to follow! I have made many of your recipes and they all have been great!! Makes me feel like I can cook! I even had to buy more spices that I never used before and I really enjoyed it! I added pork riblets that I had previously cooked and stored in my freezer...what a treat!! I will definitely be making this soup again soon..Thank you John❣️

It looks real good. This is one thing that my daughter said that she remembered growing up, we had a big garden and I would make a big pot of vegetable soup with the different vegetables. Two of the things that we put in it was butter beans and okra. My kids loved it.

Awww, I love vegetable soup, any time, it is so comforting, all the vegetables flavors turn on into a party in the mouth, we also add bell pepper and "poblano" pepper, I totally recommend it!! Hugs, hugs and greetings!!❤💖

Another amazing recipe. I cannot wait to make it. Thank you for sharing! I never put garlic in my soups, but definitely will try it in this recipe.

I like the way you explained the method for building flavor. I will be using it from now on in all my soups and sauces.

Thanks for an amazing vegan soup.... I love chickpeas in the soup as well. A bit of paprika, chopped spring onions or chives and some coconut milk are great additions.

This is one of the food that just make me feel good. I highly recommend trying this with lentils or vermicelli which we use in our soups a lot. We also have "bulgur", the big ones fit perfect with this too. Thanks for sharing. :)

I like tomato paste in the soup rather than the canned tomatoes. It gives it a richer taste.

BARLEY!!!! I LOVE BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP!!! Never thought of that. What We've been doing recently is doing a soup VERY similar to what You're doing but with something added - cook 2 pork chops in a slow cooker on high. Season with only salt/pepper and a little steak seasoning. Set on high - 3hrs done. Remove all the bone and roughly chop up and add to soup. Let Me say this - O M G!!!! The BEST thing about this soup is SECONDS!!!!💝💝💝💝❕❕

It's always a pleasure to view from Preppy Kitchen, with the veggie soup I would go with Barley as it's quite filling too and moreover it really aids in the digestion. One thing I would change is that the corn kernels should go in at close to last minute as it only takes seconds to heat up.
