Barley Buttermilk Soup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup barley
  • 1 quart water
  • salt
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped dill or 1/2 tsp dried
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp snipped chives
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 dash paprika

Instructions

Rinse the barley and put it in a pot with the water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the barley. Toss the onions into the warm barley to wilt them slightly; then put the mixture in a soup bowl with the buttermilk. Stir in the turmeric and herbs and season to taste with additional salt. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with freshly ground pepper and paprika or with a garnish of blossoms, such as chive blossoms, cilantro flowers or mustard petals.
