I changed to add a can of low sodium beef broth when I boiled the soup bone and skipped the bouillon cube as I must watch my sodium intake. I also used cole slaw mix for the cabbage as I'm not handy with a knife anymore since my stroke. I loved the barley too. This is a nice simple soup perfect for a chilly day. Thanks for posting Dreamer. Made for Celebrating National Diabetes Month.

Made exactly as posted for the Stone Soup Tag Game. I'd never used barley in my cabbage soup before but I enjoyed the addition. A very tasty treat on a cold winter's day.
