• Once boiling, add in the orzo and barley. Stir well, reduce heat and allow to simmer over medium low heat for about 35 minutes. Stir from time to time as barley and orzo are prone to sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Adjust seasoning and add peas and corn about 25 minutes into the simmering. Once the barley is cooked through the soup is done. You may want to add more broth, it gets quite thick, especially if you leave it to cook a lot longer.
