  1. Hi Judy. My only concern with doing it in the crockpot is overcooking the barley. I think it would work fine as long as it’s not left in there all day. Maybe just a few hours. If you try it, please let me know. Thanks! -Amy

  2. Do you think this could be made in the crockpot?

  3. Hi Janie,
    Yes I think brown rice would be great in this soup. If it gets too think just add some more stock. Thanks! -Amy

  4. I have everything but the barley, can I substitute brown rice instead? Can’t make it to the store till Tuesday and want to use the fresh mushrooms I have now.
