Half and half refers to a dairy beverage made of an equal-parts mixture of two substances. The United States dairy product known as half and half is a mixture of one part milk to one part cream.
Canadian Bacon is bacon prepared from centre-cut boneless pork loin. It’s also referred to as Irish Bacon or Back Bacon – the name refers to the cut of meat, which is from the back, and distinguishes it from other bacon made from pork belly or other cuts. Like other bacon, Canadian bacon is brined, cured, boiled, or smoked, and is much leaner than traditional bacon.

I would love to cook this. However, I live in the UK and don’t know what Canadian bacon or half and half are. Could you explain?
Thanks

Thank you LaaLoosh,

I was confused about the total number of servings. This recipee was amazing. As you can tell, I had a hard time believing that it was 3 points. Recommended to anyone on WW or not. A truly delicious one bowl meal. Probably my favorite thing I’ve cooked in my crock pot yet. The barley adds a wonderful fullness to the flavor.

Thanks again,

Chad

Hi Chad,
This recipe is from Weight Watchers, and according to them, 1 and 2/3 cup is the correct serving size. I’m not sure where you are getting the 11 total servings though…maybe that’s what is making the serving size seem like too much?

Are you sure the serving size should be 1 and 2/3 cup. That seems like a lot and it makes no where near 11 servings with that. Did you mean 2/3 cup?

Barley is a wonderfully versatile cereal grain with a rich nutlike flavor and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. Its appearance resembles wheat berries, although it is slightly lighter in color. Sprouted barley is naturally high in maltose, a sugar that serves as the basis for both malt syrup sweetener. When fermented, barley is used as an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages. To see a picture of it, just Google “barley” in images and you can see what it looks like. Hope that helps!

I am Dutch, and I love chowder.

But can you explain to me (maybe with a picture or something) what barley is?

thanx

I’ve made this soup twice since it first appeared and it’s fabulous! Very rich and creamy. My family all loves it, so the second time I made it, I doubled the recipe. Still great. Hard to believe it’s only 3 pts per serving. Thanks so much.
