Instructions

19 steps
  1. 1

    To begin making the Pearl Barley Vegetable Soup, make sure you have soaked the barley for at least 5 to 6 hours

    barley (seeds) - soaked for 5 to 6 hours(1/2 cup)vegetable stock(4 cups)
  2. 2

    The soaking process helps to cook the grains faster and more evenly

  3. 3

    Our next step is to get all the ingredients ready

  4. 4

    If you don't have vegetable stock ready, you can use water, but you will have to adjust the taste and spices accordingly once the soup is ready

    vegetable stock(4 cups)salt - to tastered chilli powder - to taste
  5. 5

    We will use a pressure cooker method to cook the Pearl Barley Vegetable Soup

    barley (seeds) - soaked for 5 to 6 hours(1/2 cup)vegetable stock(4 cups)
  6. 6

    If you plan to use the saucepan method, continue with the similar procedure, but cook until the barley has cooked through completely and is edible

    barley (seeds) - soaked for 5 to 6 hours(1/2 cup)
  7. 7

    Heat oil in the pressure cooker on medium heat; add the onions, garlic and celery

    onion - finely chopped(1)cloves garlic - finely chopped(2)stalk celery - finely chopped(1)
  8. 8

    Saute for a couple of minutes until they become lightly tender

  9. 9

    Add the remaining ingredients, except the parsley and give it a good stir

    parsley leaves - for garnishing
  10. 10

    Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste

    salt - to tastered chilli powder - to taste
  11. 11

    Cover the pressure cooker, place the weight on and cook until you hear 3 to 4 whistles

  12. 12

    After 3 to 4 whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer the soup for another 5 to 10 minutes

  13. 13

    After which, turn off the heat

  14. 14

    Allow the pressure cooker to rest until the pressure releases naturally

  15. 15

    The cooking process continues in the cooker as long as there is pressure inside it

  16. 16

    Once the pressure is released, you can open the cooker and the soup will be ready

  17. 17

    Do check if the barley is cooked through, sometimes the age of the grain makes it take a little longer than expected
