Got home after a horrible day how much did I need a hug but soup had to do , hearty and delicious simple vegetable soup with pot barley , this should be a very chunky soup the pot barley gives a chewy texture.

You don’t mention how much barley to use.
Looks pretty good and tasty. I would like to use the picture of the pot barley soup in a book ( )I am writing as an example of barley for food uses. Could you give me a permission to use it. Thanks.
