When my children were young, I needed a soup that everyone would eat-something filling but also something delicious. My sons really liked barley soup from a can, so I decided to try making it myself. My boys are now young adults, and this is one of the first things they ask me to make when they come to visit. -Karla Johnson, Winter Haven, Florida

TOASTED BARLEY SOUP WITH SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Toasted Barley Soup With Swedish Meatballs image

This recipe appeared in numerous newspapers around the country in Fall 2009. It quickly became a favorite in our household. My husband loves to grow his own zucchini, so I'm always on the lookout for recipes that call for it. What we've found: We've tried several brands of meatballs but like the ones from Costco the best. We mix up the sour cream into each bowl of soup before eating it, which makes it creamy.
