BARLEY SOUP
2lb meaty bones (lamb, beef or veal)
3 3/4 cups water
3 carrots
4 celery sticks
1 onion
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp barley
salt and ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 F.  To prepare the meat stock, brown
the lamb, beef or veal bones in a roasting tin in the oven for
about 30 minutes.  Remove the bones and put them in a large
saucepan, cover with water and bring to boil.

Use a metal spoon to skim off the froth which comes to the
surface and then cover the pan and simmer for at least 2 hours.  
Chop the carrots, celery and onion finely.  Heat the oil in a
saucepan and saute the vegetables in the oil for about 1 minute.
 Strain the stock into the pan.

Add the barley to the pan of vegetables and continue cooking
for about 1 hour, until the barley is soft.  Season the soup with
plenty of salt and pepper, transfer to serving bowls and serve
hot.
