Instructions

  1. Leave the ham (or bacon) in the olive oil and deglaze with the stock. Add the leek (depending on your taste) and sprinkle in the pearl barley.
  2. Close the pressure cooker and cook on the 2nd ring for about 30 minutes, then open the pot (I always do it under cold water), add the potatoes and cook again for about 10 minutes with the pot closed. Open the pot, season to taste and warm up the scalded sausages in the hot soup.
  3. I vary all quantities from time to time - sometimes more ham (cut a bit coarser, but I leave out the sausages), sometimes more pearl barley or potatoes - then it gets thicker.

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.
