TURKISH BARLEY AND BUTTERMILK (OR YOGURT) SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy pot and saute onions until translucent.

• When onion is well browned, add stock and cook until barley is well done, 45 minutes to an hour (or 25 minutes in a pressure cooker).
• Remove from heat, let cool a bit, and slowly add buttermilk and more stock to thin it if necessary. Sprinkle in dill and add butter or margarine.

POTATO/YOGURT SOUP

Steps:

• First peel and slice potatoes and rinse in cold water.
• Place potatoes in a heavy large pan and cover with water, just to cover.
• Boil until soft but not mushy.
• Pour about half of the water off of the potatoes, but save half, the starch that boils off the potatoes helps the soup to thicken and holds more nutrients.
• Add yogurt and spices and simmer 5-10 minutes to let the flavors mingle, and serve.
• I like a little shredded cheese in mine, Grew up with Cheddar, but like Mozzarella now.
