Bright flavors add pungency and depth to this hearty wintery soup. This is by far the best recipe I have ever invented. This soup refrigerates marvelously.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 cup uncooked pearl barley

  • 1 bunch leeks, chopped

  • 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey

  • 2 ½ quarts beef stock

  • 1 ½ cups Chinese rice wine

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, bring the 3 cups water to a boil. Stir in the barley. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
