The crock pot is perfect for recipe with barley because it makes it so wonderfully tender. This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey too. Very good flavor and very simple to make.

We had bbq'd turkey tenderloins and had leftovers. Made this soup with it and we loved it. Will definitely be making it again next time we have extra turkey. Would be good with chicken too I think.
