Barley Albondigas Meatball Soup

    Really liked this! It took a bit of time and effort, but was well worth it, and a lot of it can be prepped ahead of time cooking the barley, chopping the veggies and making the meatballs. I did precook the meatballs for a few minutes in a skillet and was glad I did 1because then I could drain off some of the grease and 2I really don't think they would have cooked through otherwise. I took my first bite and thought it was lacking something and realized I'd forgotten to add the cilantro at the end. Adding that made a huge difference. So tasty! Was planning to freeze some, but we ate so much there wasn't enough left to freeze. Will make again; thanks!

    Barley Albondigas Meatball Soup, A zesty twist on beef barley soup absolutely perfect for warming up a dreary day from the Barley Foods Council. Pearl barley may be cooked ahead of time, placed in an airtight container and refrigerated or frozen for up to a week. For best results, bring refrigerated or frozen cooked barley to room temperature before using., Really liked this!

It was an interesting new soup to try. I don’t think I like ground turkey so I’m not sure I’d make it again.
