Preparation
- Place the bones and water in a large saucepan or stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. At the boil, skim off and discard any residue that rises to the surface of the water and continue to do so for the next 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 1 hour.
- Skim again and discard any surface fat and scum. Add the barley and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 45 minutes.
- Using tongs or a skimmer, remove the bones from the pot and set them aside. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil gently, covered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, when the reserved bones are cool enough to handle, pick any meat from them and add it to the pot.
- Serve the soup in large bowls, sprinkling each serving with a little Worcestershire sauce, if desired.
