Cooking Barley

Old Fashion Vegetable Barley Soup

This old time soup recipe reminds me of my childhood.  I grew up in rural Southern Indiana where my family operated an old-fashion general store.  We sold everything from kerosene and gas to fresh sliced luncheon meats and cheeses.  The center of this huge old building held a big old pot-bellied coal stove to provide heat.  Vegetable Barley Soup reminds me of the soups, beans, pot roasts, etc that my mom would cook on top of this old stove.  She had slow cooking down to a science long before crockpots were ever invented.  Give this healthy, old-fashion soup a try.  Maybe it will become a favorite of yours or bring back memories for you, too.

This old-fashioned recipe is also a healthy one. Give it a try for an old-fashioned healthy, tasty meal. Just add a crusty whole-grain bread or muffin and you have a healthy meal!

In a stock pot, heat 2 tbsp oil and saute 2 medium chopped onions until transparent. Add: 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced and 1/3 cup barley. Saute a for a few minutes.
Add to the stock pot: 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced celery, 3 cups sliced mushrooms, 1 potato, scrubbed clean and diced with peeling left on, 8 cups water or beef or chicken stock–your preference, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 3/4 tsp seasoned salt. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Add to soup: 2 small zucchini, cut in half lenthwise then cut into slices. Continue to cook until zucchini is tender. Season with salt, if desired, pepper, and cayenne pepper to suit your taste. After dishing soup into serving bowl, garnish with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Simple vegetable soup with barley?

I would like to make a simple vegetable soup with barley. I have some basic ingredients:
spinach
mushrooms
leek
cabbage
onion
carrots
vegetable stock
barley

Please can you suggest a VERY simple recipe. Also, is it best to cook barley in advance using different water than the soup? Or does boiling the barley directly in the soup give it more flavour? For example, I find that it is better when I cook potatoes seprately sometimes because it gets rid of starch.

This soup is the closes thing i can think of. it has white beans in it but you can emit those and add the vegetables you like in its place. and to answer your question, its usually best to cook the barley sperately so you can control how soft it comes out. You can also mix it right in if you want the stock flavoring to be incorporated with the barley.

1 cup uncooked pearl barley
3 cups water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
3/4 cup small fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups fresh spinach
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Bring the barley and water to a boil in a pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes, or until tender.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic until tender. Season with rosemary. Mix the mushrooms, yellow bell pepper, and vinegar into the pot, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked barley, beans, tomatoes, and spinach. Season with red pepper flakes. Continue cooking 10 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.

Cooking For Two $17.46 Tea for two. That's what it's all about, right? So how come every recipe you pick up says serves 4 to 6? Or more! What do you do when you want macaroni and cheese, but don't want to be reheating it for three nights? Or a couple of cookies, but don't want to be tempted by two dozen sitting on the counter all week? Creative cookbook authors and cooks Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough have all the answers in Cooking for Two. Brimming with 120 smaller-serving, big-taste recipes,Cooking for Two offers cooks familiar favorites such as PastaBolognese, Chicken Pot Pie, and Mushroom Barley Soup, as well as new dishes for today's tastes like Pork Satay Salad and Snapper Fillets Sautéed with Orange and Pecans. Simply cutting down larger recipes leads to wasted ingredients. But Bruce and Mark have developed each recipe so you buy only what you need, and use all of what you buy. Instead of opening a can of vegetable stock only to use three tablespoons, use the liquid the dried mushrooms have soaked in. If an onion is too large for a recipe, chop a shallot instead. The dessert chapters are filled with cookies, puddings, and cakes, all designed for two servings. Small-batch baking requires strict attention to detail. A regular egg can be too big for a small batch of six cookies, so they suggest quail eggs or the easy-to-find pasteurized egg substitutes, which you can measure out in tablespoons. Truly a cookbook for everyday use, each recipe is labeled as quick (ready in minutes with minimal cooking), moderate (requires a bit more preparation or cooking), or leisurely (perfect for quiet celebrations or weekend meals) to help you decide which dish best fits into your day. With ingredient and equipment guides, as well as tips on how to stock your pantry to avoid those there's-nothing-in-the-house-so-let's-go-out moments, Cooking for Two will surely become the cookbook you reach for every night of the week. It's just two perfect.
