Barley And Buttermilk Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a heavy, medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, and add the barley. Stir or shake in the pan until it begins to smell toasty, about five minutes. Add the water and salt (to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
• While the barley is cooking, place the cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss and place in a strainer set over the bowl. Allow to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse well and drain on paper towels.
• Combine all the ingredients except the mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill for one hour or longer. Serve, garnishing each bowl with the mint.

Steps:

• Melt butter in large saucepan. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Place onions and garlic into slow cooker with celery, beef broth, chicken broth and barley. Cook on low 4-6 hours, until barley is tender.
• Stir in buttermilk and dill. Continue cooking until heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard celery. Serve with additional dill sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks then add sugar, lemon juice, lemon rind and vanilla.
• Beat until smooth and well mixed.
• Slowly beat in buttermilk.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When serving, top each bowl of soup with a dollop of whipped cream and top whipped cream with a bit of jam.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into approximately 4-inch dice. Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are about half done, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and cook until both are tender but not overdone, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, but do not drain.
• Let the potato-green bean mixture stand, uncovered, until it is at room temperature, then add the remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until chilled, if desired.
• Mid- to late summer is our brief chance to grab what we can of sun, sand, and-soup. Okay, so soup might not be something that springs immediately to mind when you think of summer pleasures, but I find few things more refreshing on a warm summer day than a bowl of cold soup.
• To round out a meal of cold soup, add a substantial salad, a good bread, and if you'd like, some fresh corn on the cob. These cool, flavorful elixirs whet the wilted appetite like nothing else can!
