This slow cooker version of Turkey Barley Soup is comforting, hearty, healthy and totally delicious. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey or homemade turkey stock!
I have been mourning this soup all week. I can’t even tell you how much I love homemade turkey stock and anything made from it. If you’ve never made your own turkey stock, please go buy a turkey just so you can experience it. I’m serious. I ate this Turkey Barley Soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it was gone far too quickly.
On the bright side, I have a TON of amazing recipes planned for the month of December. I will be posting more than ever this month, so stay tuned! Don’t wander too far. See you around the corner. I need coffee.
But really, even without the homemade turkey stock, you should give this soup a try. Store bought stock or broth will be great! Enjoy!

Is rinsing barley important?
Whether you are cooking with rice or barley, you should take the time to rinse them off before using. Simply add the rice to a fine mesh strainer and run cold water over it, tossing it around a bit using your fingers to get a thorough rinse.
This process will ensure that there is no extra debris stuck to the rice. It also removes the starch, which will prevent your final product from being clumpy.
