I'm vegan and my family is not and we all loved it! It looks soupy when I opened the instant pot lid but it thickened up overnight which I like it a little thicker so it was perfect. If you prefer it soupy I would think you could warm it up on the stove and just add a little water. Either way we liked it a lot and I'll definitely make it again. It was really easy to make.

You need to Make far too many Substitutions and additions in order to make this dish edible. And even after all of that, It's just not that good. Read More

It's a good soup but why would you put sugar in it? Must sugar be added to everything? Read More

Followed the recipe exactly and we used the Kitchen Basics unsalted vegetable stock. We used an Instant Pot 6 qt and let it natural release for 30 minutes. Pretty perfect. Read More

Made this according to directions with the exception of the tomatoes-I used garden fresh rather than canned. I also didn't have bay leaves so added garden fresh basil. This soup turned out quite watery initially but thickened up after letting it sit for a while. It was very delicious! Read More

We loved the soup. Just a great meal for a cold day. I love barley and not many recipes use barley. Read More

Recipe as is? Meh. Kind of bland. Followed the instructions and it definitely needed something. Added more salt, helped a little. Added some Frank’s Red Hot. Much better. Not sure I’ll make this again. Read More
