Instructions

  1. Sear the finely diced bacon vigorously, add the root vegetables (onion, garlic, carrot and celery) and cook for about five minutes.
  2. Scatter the pearl barley and let it turn glassy as well. Pour in the vegetable stock and cook for about 15 minutes. If necessary, add more broth. Add the frozen peas, stir and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley, also the cream cheese (I took normal cheese, but herbal cream cheese is certainly also a possible variant) and let it steep a little. Meanwhile, grate the parmesan, stir in and serve.
  3. We ate a coarse bratwurst with it, it worked out wonderfully.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
