Preparation:

In order to cook the barley, it needs to absorb water. It must be soaked in water for at least six hours.

Sauté the diced carrots and potatoes in a tablespoonful of melted butter in a low, wide saucepan, add a ladleful of water, or better yet, vegetable broth.

Simmer for a few minutes, add the drained barley and sauté for a minute or so.

Cover with broth. Cook slowly and, as an option – add some fresh bacon to add a characteristic touch to the soup.

Be generous in your portions of barley. The “Minestra da Orz” improves with age and is even better warmed up a few days later!
