Review:
Delicious!
I was surprised that it was as good as it was.
It was very hearty will the barley and lentils. ย The pork was super duper tender. ย I had leftover roast and it worked out perfectly. ย My husband slurped his bowl down and so did my kids, barley and all. ย Score one point for mom.
I would add more mushrooms next time since they shrink down so much. ย (I added 4 oz)
If you wanted a more brothy soup you could add in more broth. ย As is, it’s chock full of goodness and is more stew-like.
4 stars.

    This was absolutely delicious! I can't resist changing any recipe I make, so I also added 1 chopped onion, some worcestershire, and balsamic vinegar, and doubled the mushrooms and lentils. SUCH an amazing autumn stew.

Hi! I'm Karen

I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
