Now that I have that lovely lamb stock it’s time to make something of it! So many of the recipes in the game have more than one level of prep to them. Again, this one is no exception. The result though is totally worth it! This soup was a success, I was so proud that this soup was built from the ground up. No idea why but that always gives me a puffed up ego for a day or so. I’ll just write it off as the power of soup. Soup, that mysterious semi liquid food that can be both fancy or humble, warm or cool, but always does the trick. Anyways, we aren’t here to read about me waxing poetic about soup now are we? In the game Lamb and barley soup contains: barley (shock!), mixed herbs, and lamb stock. After all the hard work we put into the stock making the soup is so delightfully easy. Now, On to the nummy recipe!
- 5-6 cups lamb stock
- 1/2 cup pearl barley
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1/4 tsp each rosemary, thyme, parsley (poultry spice mix can be a great substitution)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Combine ingredients in pot. Cover. Boil for 30 minutes.
- Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Told you it was easy! This soup serves 4. Each serving contains 249 calories, 3.1 grams of fat, and 7.5 grams of fibre. I know that barley sounds like a lot. We just prefer it that way. We love our hearty barley soups around here. If you prefer less just cut that barley amount in half and you should be good to go. Wondering what those buns are on the side? They are the potato buns I posted in april. I made them in a muffin pan this time to make them pop up like a biscuit. Definitely a tasty side dish for dunking in the soup.
