Sounds yum! I love the miso idea. And I love barley mushroom soup.

Quite the appetizing photo. I am going to try the recipe, once I get settled.

Leora,

I love the bowl you chose – such an unusual shape.

There are different kinds of barleys one can use – those in the States can get hulled barley at http://www.simply-natural.biz/Hulled-Barley.php – it’s a hearty barley, more chewy than what is often available at grocery stores. But it does need to be soaked.

I love putting celery in at the end, to give a contrasting texture, a crunch.

Also, barley soup thickens as it sits, so if any left the next day, good to put in some stock or more water and more flavoring (I like soy sauce).
