Ingredients

serves 6

Portions

2		small onions
1	tablespoons	butter
200	g	smoked ham
50	g	smoked bacon
2		medium carrots, diced
1		celery stalk, diced
1		garlic clove, finely chopped
2		bay leaves
1		small bunch thyme (or dried thyme)
100	g	Organic barley Regiograno®
50	ml	white wine
2	l	water
2		medium potatoes, diced
	q.s.	salt, pepper

Preparation

Peel and finely chop the onions. Melt the butter in a soup pot and sauté the onions over low heat until translucent.
Meanwhile, cut the smoked meat and bacon into small pieces and add to the onion base along with the diced carrots and celery. Sauté over slightly higher heat until the meat takes on color, then add the chopped garlic and herbs.
Rinse the barley in a sieve under cold water until the water runs clear. This step prevents the soup from becoming slimy from the starch contained in the barley.
Add the barley to the vegetables, sauté for another minute, then deglaze with the white wine. Reduce until the steam no longer smells of alcohol, then pour in the water (or ideally vegetable stock) and season with salt and pepper.
Let the soup simmer for 45 minutes - the barley will swell and give the soup a wonderfully creamy consistency. Add the diced potatoes 15 minutes before the end of cooking and adjust the seasoning. Serve the soup warm.

Tip: The next day, as leftovers ("Gloapets"), the barley soup often tastes even better.

Barley bio Regiograno®

Questo orzo "Regiograno" proviene principalmente dalla Val Venosta ed è coltivato secondo rigidi criteri biologici. Ideale per la tradizionale zuppa d'orzo o per un buon risotto d'orzo, ma anche come ingrediente tiepido per le insalate estive. L'orzo è facilmente digeribile e si distingue per il suo alto contenuto di fibre. I prodotti del Molino Merano con il logo "Regiograno" contengono solo cereali provenienti da contadini altoatesini e sono soggetti a controlli approfonditi.
