Prep Time: 15 minutes โฑ๏ธ
Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes โฑ๏ธ

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 3 potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3/4 cup barley
  • 8 cups broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon marjoram

Instructions:

  1. Saute Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a little bit of the broth over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced potatoes. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and become aromatic.

  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the onions, garlic, and potatoes are softened, add in the remaining ingredients. This includes sliced carrots, bay leaves, barley, and the rest of the broth.

  3. Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer, uncovered, for approximately 45 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully and the barley to cook until tender.

  4. Remove Bay Leaves: Before serving, don’t forget to fish out and discard the bay leaves. They’ve done their job imparting flavor to the soup and are no longer needed.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the piping hot Sarah’s Potato Barley Soup into bowls and serve with your favorite crusty bread or dinner rolls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.

  6. Freeze for Later: If you’re planning to freeze leftovers, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. When reheating, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and warm it on the stove, adding a bit of extra broth if needed to reach your desired consistency.

  7. Bon Appรฉtit! Enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this comforting soup, perfect for cozy family dinners or as a nutritious meal prep option for busy weekdays. ๐Ÿฒโœจ

Whether you’re embracing the winter chill or craving a wholesome meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious, Sarah’s Potato Barley Soup is sure to become a staple in your recipe collection. So gather your ingredients and get ready to delight your taste buds with this delicious creation!
