“I liked the simplicity of the ingredients list ( to which I couldn’t resist adding garlic !) & whilst I’m waiting for the soup to cook I’m bold enough to say I’m so confident it’s going to be super - so thought it a was tad ridiculous to pre-cook the barley( & why wash it anyway, given the packaged quality we have these days in the West?… but ok wash if you must ), only then to add to the soup …and cook it all over again! …why ?…all the lovely flavor of the barley water lost ! And the barley way too overcooked .
Surety this is a mistake?”
