Bread Puree Soup with Brisket and Pearl Barley Recipe
I love pearl barley, but I usually cook it with fried meat or use it in a marinade. I saw this recipe in a cooking show. I decided to try cooking. Original and simple. I must say right away - the dish turns out to be quite satisfying.

  1. That's what we need. (I warn you right away - the number of products is quite conditional. It all depends on the chosen cereal, the size of the bread and the love of thick mashed soup.)

  3. Pearl barley is cooked, we continue. Chop an onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Slicing is not fundamental. Then whisk again with a blender. Cut the brisket into small pieces so that it is convenient to remove them from the broth later. Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprig and finely chop. (We don't throw away the magic wand. Then it can be used as a skewer.) Cut the baguette into slices.

  4. Leave 6 slices of baguette, put the rest on a baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil. We send the baguette to the oven. The baking time depends on the oven. You should get toasted croutons, but not hard crackers. You can fry in a frying pan, but you will need to flip the pieces once.

  6. Add the brisket and chopped rosemary to the onion and garlic. Add rosemary to taste. Twigs, of course, come in different sizes. If you don't like rosemary, add parsley. Mix everything and simmer for 5 minutes.

  9. While the broth is boiling, quickly prepare the so-called "garlic butter" for the remaining pieces of bread. Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and the leaves of the second sprig of rosemary. Pour olive oil into a bowl, add garlic and rosemary, season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well.

  10. Put the remaining slices of bread on a baking sheet, grease them with the resulting mixture of oil and garlic and send them to the oven, preheated to 180C, for 5 minutes. It shouldn't be too dry here. It should be crispy toast, that's all. We put them aside. (I didn't take pictures of anything, so I had to fool around a bit. By the way, these croutons can be prepared separately from the entire recipe. Just as a snack.)

  13. Add milk, balsamic vinegar, mustard. Salt and pepper. Mix everything and try it. Don't forget that brisket can be very salty, so be careful with salt. Cook for five minutes. The bread should swell. Stir so that the milk does not burn. At this stage, you can already approximately determine the density of the resulting soup and adjust the addition of milk.
