Directions:
- Soak the barley in cold water while you make the lamb broth.
- Put two lamb shanks in a 6 quart soup pot (I like enameled cast iron) and brown them on all sides in a little oil.
- Add 8 cups of beef broth and 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a simmer and simmer for ten minutes.
- Skim the scum off the surface until it is clear.
- Add bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and dried parsley to pot.
- Simmer, lid ajar, for two hours until lamb is very tender and ready to fall off the bone.
- Remove lamb from the stock and cut meat into small pieces. Discard gristle, fat and bone.
- Chill the stock, then skim the congealed lamb fat off the top and discard it.
- Remove the bay leaf and discard.
- Saute all the chopped vegetables in a large skillet in 2 Tablespoons of butter for five to ten minutes until they are soft. Do not brown.
- Add the sauteed vegetables and the soaked drained barley to the stock and simmer, covered, about 45 minutes or until vegetables and barley are tender.
- Add lamb meat back into the soup.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a little salt if needed.
- Serve piping hot with freshly ground pepper on top.
