Joshua's Barley Pottage image

My son is interested in medieval and ancient Mediterranean dishes and he likes to experiment with different dishes. This is a Barley Pottage he came up with. It's different, but really good! He makes these often. You can use whatever type of broth in this recipe you like and this recipe can be used as a side dish or a main dish...
