Today, during a lapse in our regular arrangements, I was moved to make a pork soup, which turned out very well.
Ingredients: four ounces of pearl barley, half a tenderloin, one and a half onions, four sticks of celery, half a pound of white cabbage and five button mushrooms.
Soak pearl barley in a little more than 2 pints of cold water for 2 hours. Bring to boil Chop and add half a tenderloin. Prepare and add the onion and celery. Simmer for around 45 minutes.
Prepare and add the cabbage. Give it another five minutes. Prepare and add the mushrooms. Give it another five minutes.
Serve.
Not a condiment, spice or e-number in sight!
I think I used to post about pork soup on a regular basis, but the most recent one that I have been able to turn up about this particular sort of soup, that is to say not involving red lentils, is more than four years ago. See reference 1. Have I really not had a proper soup for that long?
PS: with reference 2 being from getting on for ten years ago - so the idea has been around for a while.
