We all have that one meal we remember eating when we were kids — the one that would instantly make you feel better on a cloudy day. For me it’s this Persian Barley Soup. It’s made with minimal ingredients but somehow ends up being full of flavour and so creamy.

This was one of those recipes my sister and both agreed on (a rare occurrence in my childhood!), so it was a permanent fixture in the fall and winter months. Like many cultures, Persians view soup as medicine so my mom would make this the instant someone had the sniffles! The key is to let the barley cook for a long period of time. First in seasoned water and then in chicken broth. We then add carrots, a simple white sauce and some fresh herbs. Simple ingredients that feel like a hug in a bowl!
