Preparation Steps
Step 1
Rinse the pearl barley thoroughly under running water, then drain in a colander. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Place the colander with the pearl barley over the saucepan so that the bottom of the colander does not touch the water. Cover with a lid and steam the pearl barley for 30 minutes, maintaining a moderate heat.
Step 2
Chicken drumsticks carefully rinse under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 1.5 liters of salted water to a boil, then add the chicken drumsticks and cook for 30 minutes. After that, transfer the chicken to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine sieve to remove any impurities. Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly, pour 1 cup of boiling water over them and let them steep for 15 minutes. Drain the mushrooms in a colander, cut them into strips and set aside. Also strain and save the mushroom infusion.
Step 3
Mix the strained chicken broth with the prepared mushroom infusion, and bring to a boil. Add the steamed pearl barley and cook for 20 minutes, until the barley is soft and has absorbed the flavors.
Step 4
Peel the potatoes, onions, and carrots. Cut them into small cubes for even cooking. Add the chopped potatoes to the boiling soup and cook for 10 minutes until tender.
Step 5
In a skillet, heat a mixture of butter and vegetable oil. Sauté the chopped onion and carrots for 3 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Then add the prepared mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes over medium heat, until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
Step 6
Remove the chicken meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces. Add the meat back to the soup along with the fried vegetables and mushrooms. Cook everything together for another 5 minutes so that all the ingredients exchange flavors. Remove the finished soup from the heat, cover with a lid, and let it steep for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Enjoy your meal!
