This is a healthy and flavorful soup! It's so interesting to learn that barley is used for soups. Where I come from, barley is normally boiled with water, beancurd skin, sugar and ginkgo nuts and served as dessert.

Don't you just love making soup? Soup is really one of my favorite things to make and it's not because everything is in one pot!

Interesting recipe! When I read the title I expected a Creamed Spinach Soup but the recipe is so different and now on my ToDo list!!
