This is my favorite barley soup. I prefer to make it with oats, but it can be done with barley as well, just it takes longer to cook it. According to your taste, add more or less of anything. This is the way we like it. It's suppose to be thick.

salt
2 dried limes (omit if not avalable)

Made as directed using pearl barley rather than oats. And if you love barley, you will love this soup. It's thick (I used the full 6 cups of water) and has lots of barley. I used 1 1/2 Tbsp. of BTB chicken paste for the bullion cubes for good chicken flavor & dried lemon peel for the lime. I diced up the potato as the recipe did not say how to prep it. Using barley, the soup was ready in 1 hr and 15 minutes. Like most soups, it's very versatile and you could add just about anything you like from chopped celery to topping it with leftover shredded chicken. A final note, I thought 2 onions would be overpowering, but not so. The onion was barely noticable. Thanks for a keeper recipe.
