I have never had barley before, it is really good. I made as written except a few substitutions of on hand vegetables like red onion, brussel sprouts, 1/2 t of celery seeds in place of the celery. I added 1 rounded tsp of chipolte in adobe pepper sauce with the tomato paste for a kick. Excellent taste.
