Oma's Barley Soup

"This recipe is from my Oma (grandmother in German). She was from a town in Austria and I must say one of the best cooks. I have started making some of the recipes she had written down and this soup is by far one of my family's favorite memories of her and her best cooking. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do."

directions

  • In a soup pot, boil the barley in 2 quarts of soup stock, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cook vegetable in separate pot to your own satisfaction (hard or soft).
  • Then put them into the barley soup. If soup becomes too thick, add water.
  • Leftover beef, smoked Ham or sausage (smoked butt is the best) can be cut up into small pieces and added to the soup before serving.
  • **I like to simmer on low for a couple hours and continue to stir it.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am married to a great husband. We do not have any kids yet but have 1 cat and 1 dog. I am a first grade teacher and absoutely love it! I do not really enjoy the process of cooking but I enjoy the finished product so I do it and try to make new and interesting dishes. When I find a recipe I like, it normally becomes part of the dinner rotation. I tend to be pretty picky about the way I cook and the ingredients and tend to find that most people enjoy my recipes and cooking. I am a devoted by the recipe cooker but have gotten much better about adding something new to the recipe the longer that I have been married and the more I have practiced cooking. I hope you enjoy my recipes too.
