    My husband and I could not believe how much taste this soup had with so few ingredients in it. The bay leaves bring such good flavor to this soup, so be sure to put them in!

    If you have a husband like mine who loves bread with his soup, you can pick up a French loaf at your local bakery or you can make Sour Cream Rolls. You can make this Gluten Free by using quinoa instead of barley!
