Hello, lentil and barley soup! This recipe is such a great start to soup season now that it’s September (already?!)<\/em>. It’s cozy, hearty, and filling<\/strong>, and adding fresh cilantro (or parsley)<\/em> and lime juice maintains a fresh, bright, light flavor. This is a super healthy and well-rounded soup – packed with nutrients, fiber, plant-based protein<\/strong>, and tons of veggies (including baby spinach, stirred in to wilt at the end of cooking). <\/em>Pearl barley and lentils take the same amount of time to cook, making them an easy pairing for this soup. Use rice or quinoa for a gluten-free version, and use your stovetop, pressure cooker, or slow cooker<\/strong> for this lentil barley soup recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s soup season, y’all!! If you’ve been with Bowl of Delicious for a while you know I’m all about the soups<\/a> (this is BOWL of Delicious, after all)<\/em>. If there is another category of food that is so easy to make incredibly tasty, healthy, hearty, in bulk to freeze, in one pot with very few dishes, and that feeds both your body and soul, I don’t know about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this lentil and barley soup is no different. It’s a complete meal in a bowl, and it’s so easy to make. Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
