Vegetable and barley soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can add hot pepper to the vegetable and barley soup to give it a warming effect. I'd like to mention that you can use other vegetables, replacing them as desired—such as zucchini or beets. You can even add grated cheese to the vegetable and barley soup, and of course, sour cream when serving. The main thing is that the soup should be aromatic. It's better to use beef broth, but I often cook it with chicken broth. I've even learned to make delicious borscht with it. Good luck! Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
