You can cook up a chicken or turkey carcass, or add stock and leftover turkey. Great way to end the Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. I lost this recipe and spent two months searching for it. When it fell out of an unexpected book, I was thrilled and made the soup right away. If you like barley and mushrooms, you will love this soup.

This soup was okay much better the next day. It was a little bland for our taste. The soy sauce was lost in the soup. If I make this again I'll add at least a tablespoon of soy sauce and will add chicken. Read More

Excellent basic barley soup recipe. The (small) changes I made were to add some squash no turkey and red wine instead of wine. Seems to be a very forgiving recipe. Read More
