Got home after a horrible day how much did I need a hug but soup had to do , hearty and delicious simple vegetable soup with pot barley , this should be a very chunky soup the pot barley gives a chewy texture.
Pot Barley Soup
100g of dried pot or pearl barley
2 medium carrots roughly chopped
2 leeks roughly chopped
1 medium onion roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 pints of vegetable stock
2 rashers of bacon roughly chopped
Fresh soft herbs thyme or parsley
Seasoning to taste
Gently fry the onion , bacon garlic and leeks til soft
Add the carrots and barley with the stock
Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes
Season with salt , pepper and fresh herbs
I am definitely going to make this if I can find the barley around here. Thank for the recipe!
You don’t mention how much barley to use.
Looks pretty good and tasty. I would like to use the picture of the pot barley soup in a book ( )I am writing as an example of barley for food uses. Could you give me a permission to use it. Thanks.
