Vegetable soup with barley
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. Our grandmothers often made barley soup. For some reason, we've forgotten about it today. It seems undeservedly. Serve the soup hot.

1. Sort and rinse the pearl barley. Soak it in cold water for several hours. Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, the carrots into rounds, and the onion into half-rings. Finely chop the garlic. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the onion slightly. Add the minced garlic and salt. After 3-4 minutes, add the potatoes, carrots, and pearl barley to the pot. Sauté everything for 7-8 minutes.
