SPRING BARLEY SOUP
This soup is as cozy as mushroom-barley soup and as vibrant as spring. Chewy barley, crisp asparagus and peas lay in a broth bolstered by umami-rich soy sauce and miso. Hits of fresh ginger and vinegar enliven the mix. Feel free to swap in other vegetables that catch your eye: Add leeks and hearty greens with the barley, and quicker-cooking vegetables like sliced turnips or snap peas with the asparagus. For more protein, add cubed soft or firm tofu to bowls, or stir a beaten egg into the pot as you would for hot and sour soup.

Steps:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the oil and garlic, and heat over medium. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened but not browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 6 cups of water, the barley and 2 teaspoons soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the barley is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Add the asparagus and peas, and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir a spoonful of the soup into the miso until dissolved. Pour into the pot, along with the rice vinegar, ginger and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce; stir to combine. Taste for salt level and adjust with more soy sauce. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days; rewarm over low heat, thin with water, and add vinegar and soy sauce to taste.)
Tips:
- When cooking barley, use a ratio of 1 cup barley to 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the barley is tender.
- To make a vinaigrette, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal vegetables in your salad. Some good choices include asparagus, peas, carrots, radishes, and tomatoes.
- If you're adding nuts or seeds to your salad, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they're fragrant. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- To make the salad more substantial, add some cooked protein, such as chicken, fish, or tofu.
- Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Spring barley salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the bounty of the season. With its fresh vegetables, flavorful vinaigrette, and optional protein, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
