Barley soup in a multicooker
Description
A hearty first course dish. To prepare barley soup, you first need to prepare the grain. It's best to soak it overnight, but three hours will suffice. Here is a step-by-step recipe for preparing barley soup in a multicooker: 1. Rinse the barley grain. 2. Finely chop the green onion, making sure to separate the white part from the green. 3. Peel the carrot and celery and grate them on a fine grater. 4. Now use the multicooker. Place the carrot, celery, and the white part of the onion into the pot. Sauté everything in "frying" mode for 10 minutes using butter. 5. Meanwhile, cut the sausages and mushrooms into cubes or slices. Add them to the same pot and continue sautéing for another 10 minutes. 6. Now add spices, salt, tomato paste mixed with sugar. Stir everything well. 7. Pour in chicken broth and water. 8. Set the multicooker to "stewing" mode and set the timer for one and a half hours. 9. Fifteen minutes before the cooking is complete, add chopped fresh herbs: cilantro, parsley, and the green part of the onion. 10. Serve hot. Ladle into bowls and serve.
