Pearl barley and vegetable soup (Soup-e jo) from The Saffron Tales: Recipes from the Persian Kitchen by Yasmin Khan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Soup-e jo is another standard dish I have whenever the weather is right for it, however this recipe is not one of my favorites and I prefer my soup-e jo dairy-free. Perfectly fine to have with the milk but still not a recipe worth repeating, personally.

    Agree with @jenburkholder. Soup is subtle but lime and tarragon come through. Definitely opted to not purée. It’s a hearty and nourishing meal

    This was good, if not particularly special. Didn’t purée (weird for a soup like this!!). Subbed dried tarragon and used cashew milk instead of dairy. Nice for a different take on mushroom barley soup.
