Easy Pearl Barley Meatballs Soup

by Leave a Comment

Easy Barley Soup, gluten-free, broth-free

No broth? No problem at all! I cooked this delicious totally gluten-free barley soup with meatballs using plain filtered water.

Noone will ever notice the difference. Barley with potatoes adds thickness to the soup while the meatballs and bay leaves create a really nice flavor.

Cooked it today and my kidsĀ ate it with big pleasure.

It takes about 1 hour to make. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Here is the recipe:
