Steps:
- SAUTE: Place a dutch oven or a stock pot over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and add the mirepoix and leeks and sauté the veggies for 4-5 minutes or until the veggies soften a bit, add the garlic and pepper flakes during the last 30 seconds and stir until fragrant. Season the veggies with a big pinch of salt and white pepper and add the barley.
- SIMMER: Let the barley toast for 1 minute, stirring as required so nothing sticks or burns. Pour in the chicken stock along with 1 cup of water, and bay leaves. Allow the soup to come to a boil. Lower the heat to low and cover; let simmer for 20-23 minutes or until the barley is mostly cooked. Add the chicken and 4 tablespoons of lemon juice and kick the back up to medium-high and let the soup gain a simmer, then lower the heat to low for 5 minutes, at this point you don't want it to have any bubbles on the surface. Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice as desired. Keep in mind that the cream will mellow out the flavor a bit. We like it with 6 tablespoons of lemon juice!
- FINISH: Pour the cream into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the prepared soup (just the broth if you can) and stir. Pour this cream mixture into the prepared soup while stirring let it heat through for 1 minute but make sure to not let the soup boil from here on out! Turn off the heat stir in the lemon zest and tarragon. Serve topped with chopped parsley and with tons of crusty bread, if desired!
CREAMY LEMON-BARLEY SOUP
Our more nutritious take on the Greek egg-and-lemon soup known as avgolemono swaps out the usual white orzo for pleasantly chewy, better-for-you barley, and adds peppery watercress for brightness.

CREAM OF BARLEY SOUP
This pureed soup is super fast to put together, though it takes a while to cook. It's well worth the effort. Serve it with some fresh bread to dip.

BEEF BARLEY SOUP WITH LEMON
With a higher ratio of broth to barley than one usually sees, and the addition of plenty of fresh baby spinach, this beef barley soup is a little lighter than most of its kind. However, it's still a substantial, satisfying meal that gets a heady aroma from spices (coriander, cumin and paprika) and a brightness from lemon. If you like your meals with a kick, top this with thinly sliced jalapeño, which will wilt slightly from the heat of the soup. Leftovers freeze perfectly for at least three months, though if using the jalapeño, don't add it until serving time.

Steps:
- Season beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let mixture stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook in batches, turning occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Drizzle in additional oil if the pan seems dry. Transfer the browned meat to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
- Add leek, celery, fennel and garlic to the pan; cook until soft, about 7 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Push the vegetables to one side, and, if the pan looks dry, add a bit more oil. Add tomato paste and spices to the cleared spot and cook until tomato paste is darkened and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir together vegetables and tomato paste.
- Return meat to the pot. Pour in stock and 8 cups water. Using kitchen string, tie sage, rosemary and bay leaves into a bundle and drop into pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, partly covered, for 1 hour.
- Stir in the carrots, parsnips, turnips, barley, 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until barley is cooked through and meat is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Pull herb bunch from pot and discard.
- Stir spinach and parsley into pot until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes (kale may take a few minutes longer), then stir in lemon zest and juice. If soup is too thick, thin it with a little water. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve with chiles, if you like.
