Cover and bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the barley is tender. Meanwhile, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small heatproof bowl, cover with the hot water, and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. While the sun-dried tomatoes soak, warm the oil in a small skillet. Add the onions and garlic and saute for about 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Remove from the heat. When the barley is cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir in the sauteed onions and garlic, canned tomatoes, dill, cayenne, and salt. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes, reserving the soaking liquid. Dice and add them with their soaking liquid to the soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Add the kale, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with pepper. Garnish each bowl with a fresh dill sprig and top with the crumbled feta cheese, if you wish. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 183 Calories (kcal); 4g Total Fat; (20% calories from fat); 5g Protein; 34g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 636mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 1 1/2 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 2 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 1/2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates Nutr.
