Barley soup recipe | How to make barley soup

By swasthi , on December 23, 2019, 31 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Barley soup -barley is commonly used in India during summers to avoid dehydration and constipation. It also helps to lower cholesterol and better manage diabetes as it is low in Glycemic index. This wonder grain is one of the super foods to include in our diet if you have not yet.

To know more on the nutritional facts of barley, i suggest use google. This is a simple barley soup recipe which I follow, every time with different seasoning. It makes a perfect breakfast or a light meal.

You can use any of your favorite seasonings or herbs or spice powders. I have not used any for mine, as I love to eat this simple sometimes.

A break from the usual masalas and sambar powders and ginger garlic. Even the plain one tastes absolutely delicious with a nutty flavor.

The fiber in barley can upset the stomach and leave us bloated, so always soaking barley for at least 4 hours and discarding the soaked water is best.

Partially cooked or under cooked barley too can upset the stomach. So it needs to be cooked until very soft. I have used my choice of veggies I suggest replacing whatever you like.
