Uncooked pearl barley left in uncooked soup overnight - safe to eat once finished cooking?

[FeelingLucky]

Made soup last night using root vegetables and chicken stock. Bunged in some pearl barley, brought to boil and turned it off as it was getting late and I thought I would just finish cooking this morning .... getting a bit anxious that this might not be safe.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

'tis fine as far as I know.

Thanks DeJa.
Remember you from another thread - hope your DD is continuing to nurse fine

Very sweet of you to ask! She's nursing with the best of them thanks

It's fine. I often do similar at night but not cook at all, and then turn on the slow cooker the next morning.
