BUTTERMILK POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and add salt. (If using more than one variety, use a different saucepan for each to accommodate varying cooking times.) Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until fork-tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
• While potatoes cook, heat butter and oil in a medium skillet over high heat, and add onions. Reduce heat to medium, and saute until golden brown and slightly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drain potatoes, and let cool briefly. For a decorative touch, use a paring knife to remove a band of peel from the center section of each potato. Divide potatoes between four soup bowls and pour 3/4 cup buttermilk into each bowl. Top with caramelized onions, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately.

Cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Taste, and if you'd like a little more tender texture, add another 1/2 cup water and simmer until absorbed.

• barley
• Barley, one of the most ancient of cultivated grains, is most commonly available in the pearl variety, the kind sold in supermarkets. Searching a bit further afield, you might find pot barley in natural foods stores and food co-ops. The latter is less refined, retaining more of the natural fiber and bran. Both kinds are mild tasting, pleasantly chewy, and versatile. Basic cooking directions are above (Step 1).
• Barley is a favorite soup grain. Add uncooked barley to long-simmering winter soups (such as Split Pea and Barley Soup, page 25) for extra heartiness. Add cooked barley to cold summer soups (such as Cold Potato-Barley Buttermilk Soup, page 14) for a wonderful texture.
• Think of barley as a change of pace from rice in pilafs and casseroles.
• Barley is delicious as a base for marinated grain salads (see Barley or Rice and Corn Salad, page 46).
