| 1. Mix seasonings and dried herbs in a small bowl. | 2. Rinse barley and drain it. | 3. Combine barley in a large soup pot with the 9 cups of chicken broth, about HALF the herb mixture, and 3 of the cloves of crushed garlic. | 4. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes. | 5. Meanwhile, mix together the meatball ingredients and form into balls the size of walnuts in the shell (you will get 20 or more). | 6. When the barley/broth mixture has simmered for 30 minutes, add in the remaining 3 crushed garlic cloves, the rest of the seasonings and dried herb mixture, the meatballs, and the carrots and onion. | 7. Bring soup back to a low simmer, and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 or 15 minutes so meatballs won't stick to the bottom or break apart. | 8. Serve soup topped with chopped parsley and a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
