For an easy soup, that is filling, comforting and wholesome, this vegetable barley soup really checks all the boxes. It is flavourful, simple to prepare, filled with nutrients, and made in one pot!

I love making big batches of soup, especially during the colder months. This soup tastes just as great when reheated, as it does when freshly made. Perfect for lunches and makes great leftover dinners too!

How to make vegetable barley soup?

This soup recipe is very easy to prepare and make.

Chop up your veggies and add everything except the spinach to a large pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat, and then lower the heat and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Add the spinach in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Serve with crackers, croutons, crusty bread, or just enjoy as is. 🙂

How long does this soup keep?

This soup makes a generous portion, but don’t worry because leftovers keep well in refrigerator for 4-5 days.

You may also freeze some for later use, for up to 8 weeks. Just thaw in the refrigerator the night before and reheat on stove top.
