Turkey-Barley Vegetable Soup

I added fresh mushrooms, also will add extra barley next time. But I like my soups tick. Very good recipe. I struggle in the kitchen, and still the soup was wonderful.

I made this tonight and it was great! I added garlic and bay leaf and used my homemade turkey stock, but I'm sure chicken broth would be fine. Definitely a keeper!!

This soup was pretty darn good. I added a heaping teaspoon of bottled, minced garlic to the vegetables at the very end of sauteing and it added a lot of flavor. My husband is pretty picky when it comes to trying out new recipes and he commented that he'd definitely want to have this one again. I would recommend not adding the spinach to the whole batch, but only to the individual bowls just before serving. That way the spinach is wilted but not overcooked and you can heat up any leftovers without mushy spinach in them.
