SAUSAGE BARLEY SOUP
This is a nice soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... and all 3 of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.

FINGER LICKING LEEK SOUP WITH SAUSAGE AND BARLEY
I love leeks. I was searching for a leek soup and all I could find were leek and potato cream soups. So I improvised and was amazed by the results. The sausage gives it a ton of flavor and the texture of the barley is wonderful. You will love it if you are a fan of the Italian wedding soups.

- In a separate pan brown the Italian sausage breaking it into small pieces.

Steps:
- Wash leeks in a large bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well in a colander.
- Cook carrot and celery in 1/2 stick butter in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 15 minutes.
- While stock simmers, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Melt remaining 1/2 stick butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, then add flour and cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 cups simmering stock, whisking vigorously (mixture will be thick), then whisk flour mixture into remaining stock and return to a simmer, whisking.
- Add potatoes, kielbasa, and marjoram and simmer soup, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right leeks: Look for leeks that are firm and have a bright white color. Avoid leeks that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots. - Clean the leeks thoroughly: Leeks can be dirty, so it's important to clean them thoroughly before using them. Cut off the root end and the dark green leaves. Then, halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse them under cold water, separating the layers to remove any dirt or grit. - Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to add other vegetables to your leek soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, and turnips. - Add some herbs: Herbs can add a lot of flavor to leek soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, and parsley. - Don't overcook the soup: Leek soup is best when it's cooked until the leeks are soft but still have a little bit of bite. Overcooking the soup will make the leeks mushy. - Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include bread, crackers, cheese, and sour cream.Conclusion:
Leek soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give leek soup a try.
