Notes about this recipe

    I love this soup! It is herby and fresh and loaded with bright lemony flavor and at the same time it’s thick and creamy, from the barley and 2 cups of puréed soup. I also like the finishing touch of crushed sizzled coriander seeds. I’ve made this several times — it’s a keeper!

    I used brown rice instead of barley and cottage cheese to top instead of sour cream, and I added chicken stock powder for salt and flavor to taste in addition to the plain salt. Otherwise I made the recipe exactly as written. I liked the brightness and the fresh flavor from all the herbs, lemon, and spinach. We didn't care for the sizzled coriander, next time I'll leave it off entirely. Will probably make this again. As other reviews have mentioned, it's not salty enough as written, which is a huge surprise from Molly Baz.

    This is delicious! Sizzled coriander and extra crush red pepper flakes on top are a fun addition that bring a lot of flavor. It really starts to come together after a portion of the soup is puréed with the herbs. A great way to brighten the dark winter days!

    This wasn’t for me. It needed much more seasoning and something else… I tried to salvage, but couldn’t figure out what would make me like this.

    My favorite soup of all time from Molly Baz! If you love an herby soup you must make it. I usually doctor this up by adding even more herbs and increasing the chicken to get way more protein. Kind of surprised some of the others don't like it!

    I lovvvveeee this soup. It manages to be warming and cozy but also herbaceous and refreshing at the same time.

    This was ok but not amazing. Wouldn't repeat.

  • Lepa on November 09, 2023

    This was okay but we didn't love it. It felt thin and lemony, lacking in body and flavor. I wonder if it would have tasted better if I had made stock with a chicken. That said, I probably won't make this again.
