Yum! I used a Goya mixed bean soup blend, but didn’t add barley. I did throw in some pork shoulder. Turned out great – very hearty!

Loved it! Wow, wasn’t expecting a lot (especially since I had to alter a bit from the recipe as written), but the flavor was so wonderful. Nice with a slice of sprouted grain bread and butter, mmmmm. Didn’t have a pepper on hand, but did throw in a couple parsnips–more of a trade than a substitution I know. 
Didn’t have tomato bouillon and just skipped that part entirely and the flavor was still phenomenal. Definitely making this again.

I make a similar soup, but I start it out with a quart of vegetable broth and a quart of water; by using the broth the soup has a wonderful deep flavor. I don’t like to use the bouillon cubes because of the salt content.

The first cold day that comes, I am making this! Thanks for the info about the beans, barley, and tomato bouillon cubes. I was wondering about that!

Hey!
It’s just like chicken or beef bouillon cubes. You can find it right on the same aisle! (they aren’t frozen.)
Hope this helps!

Hey Lindsay! I’m sorry that’s a little confusing, isn’t it? I actually bought the bag from Trader Joe’s (not sure if you read the post on my site) and it was a mix of beans and barley! But, if you don’t have the mix on hand, it’s just 2 cups TOTAL of dried beans and barley. Your choice of however much you prefer to add.
Hope this helps and thanks so much for reaching out!
