This is the second time I have made this recipe...it is so tasty and comforting. I use Plump Soup Barley which I source from a local grain mill. The barley is very large and nutty. I made this in the morning, cooked to just a bit underdone, will gently reheat tonight. It is a pretty dish, as well.
I did not have much patience either time with sieving tomatoes, so I did about 1.5 cups, worth, then just dumped the juice from a can of whole, peeled plum tomatoes for the rest. It was thick and I figured good enough.
