2. Now add Pomì chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, spices, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
3. Add broth and barley. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes uncovered. Then, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook on low until pearl barley is tender (another 25 minutes or so. Test to make sure barley is fully cooked).
4. To finish, stir in lemon juice. Add fresh dill and fresh chopped green onions.
5. Transfer the vegetable barely soup to serving bowls and top each with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh avocados. Enjoy!
