Soup with barley, meatballs, and pickles is somewhat reminiscent of pickles, but this is not entirely true. None of the ingredients are fried, so the soup is lighter but still satisfying. Minced meatballs and pearl barley perfectly complement this interesting and tasty first course with a pleasant sourness!
