First off I LOVED the flavor of this soup and how easy it was to make. I used Jennie-O Italian sausage (3 links = 3/4lb). I used fresh spinach instead of frozen about 2/3 of a bag and that's just because of personal preference. I did not add any salt and it was plenty salty. I can't imagine having added 2 tsp. Of course if you use unsalted chicken broth or low sodium you'll want to add salt to taste. The issue I had was that because you are cooking the barley for so long to get it tender a lot of the liquid evaporates leaving you with 6 very small servings (about 6oz each). I had even added 1 cup of water to the pot. In my opinion this makes 3 lunch size portions so plan accordingly. I will definitely be making this again though with the extra liquid. Thank you Juli for the tasty and healthy recipe! Read More

I exchanged kale for spinach and it was amazing. My husband said it was the best soup I have ever made. Read More

(1) I really like this soup. I just thought it needed more meat (I used 1.25lbs) and less salt. I recommend tasting it before you add any salt and then adding a 1/4 of a tsp at a time (if any.) I only used 1 tsp and I thought that was a little bit too much even after adding 3 cups of water. Read More
