I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

Overall, this was a good soup. The broth was flavorful and the lamb was tender. However, I found the barley to be a bit too mushy.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found the barley to be a bit too chewy.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I was pleasantly surprised. The lamb flavor was very mild and the soup was incredibly comforting. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. I made a few minor changes to the recipe, such as using beef broth instead of lamb broth and adding some chopped carrots. The soup was still incredibly flavorful and hearty.
