Can barley be cooked soft?

My partner and I recently had barley for the first time in a canned soup and loved it. So I bought pearl barley to use in my own stews and soups and after my first attempt at a turkey and barley soup, it’s got a good amount of chew to it. It’s not BAD by any means, but we were both expecting it to be softer, like it was in the canned soup!

I cooked it in a homemade turkey/chicken stock for around 35 minutes, maybe 40. I am using pearl barley.
