A soup lovers dream! I used meaty lamb shanks and added 6 beef bouillion cubes to the water. I substituted rutabega for the turnip, added a chopped parsnip, 2 pressed garlic cloves, bay leaf and a bit of white wine once the veggies where tender.
This is a hearty main dish soup that can only be improved by some buttered crusty bread for dunking!

great great recipe! I made a few changes - stewed the lamb shanks for a couple hours and used half beef broth instead of just water. this is one of those recipes where you almost want to make it a day ahead and refrigerate - the next day the flavors were even better together!

Simple and delicious! I just substituted the turnips for a large leek and also added 1/2 cup of dried split peas. Slainte!

I use the left over lamb roast to create the stock, and add a few beef bullion cubes too. I chill the stock overnight and discard the hardened fat from the surface and then I add the veggies, barley etc. It's a great soup - economical, low calorie, high fiber, and good tasting!

Outstanding soup. This will be a staple in my household, too. I took the suggestion of adding beef bouillion - three Knorr beef cubes. I also used a rutabaga instead of white turnip. It was fabulous!

I chose this recipe to make for the Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game. It seemed just the thing for the beginning of Fall. I am embarrassed to say that the recipe somehow got away from me. I strayed so far that I don't feel comfortable writing a review. I did retain the main ingredients. I did not start with the meat and barley because I didn't want the barley in the way when removing the meat from the bones (they were cut). I added the barley later. I also used a lot more and different vegetables, more water, and the garlic (more) and bay leaf suggested by Lorac. I do have a very large pot of delicious soup. So anyway, I'm not rating this recipe, but would like to say thank you for the concept. I promise to strictly follow the next recipe of yours that I choose.

I made exactly following the recipe. My in-laws loved it (they eat soup every day.)
