Hearty Pearl Barley Solyanka Soup

This delicious soup will warm you up in the winter and satisfy your hunger in the summer. Since childhood, solyanka has been one of my favorite first dishes. I cook it differently every time, using different types of meat and grains. This time it was the turn of the pearl barley. I always put more meat in it. With such a hearty first course, there is no need to eat the second course.
