ABOUT VEGETABLE AND BARLEY SOUP RECIPE

Barley is an amazingly versatile and nutritious grain. I remember grandma and mom used to make barley porridge when ever anyone was sick. Adding some to your pot will improve your health along with the flavour of whatever soup / stew you are making. For babies you can skip the black pepper and blend it with a hand blender.This soup makes a light and healthy meal for the elderly people.
