We're in Texas, and it's a little beyond lamb soup with barley.

My German 'Nana' made wonderful barley stews and it reminded me of hers (and I was 10 years old again). One thing was different: the sweet potato.<br />The addition of sweet potato is genius. I think I will add that to my list of ingredients for many of my soups/stews. The creaminess it imparts is the perfect texture and the hint of sweetness is just that somethin', somethin' you can't quite identify, but makes you *want* to take another bite of goodness.<br />♥~CarolyneCarolynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581024347242760698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-62355738756030085122015-05-14T02:10:09.158+10:002015-05-14T02:10:09.158+10:00That looks so delicious.

Really the only lamb-ish thing that I ever see in grocery stores is leg of lamb every now and then usually around Easter time. I love soups with barley in them so warm and filling. Maybe I will try Peascod's suggestion and try it with pork neck bones. I think I can come by those here in Indiana.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-210289985975929642015-05-13T09:38:47.894+10:002015-05-13T09:38:47.894+10:00Rhonda, This looks so good.

Homemade will be so much better. With dumplings, no less....you're right, men do love dumplings ;) Who doesn't, though?<br />You mentioned that lady's Irish Cookbook in a post about making yeast bread with the refrigerator. You must be getting a bit of good from that cookbook.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895877653972323599noreply@blogger.com
