?Engadiner Gerstensuppe is a hearty Swiss soup made with pearl barley, potatoes, leeks, and carrots. It is typically flavored with bacon, cheese, and a touch of cream.
Bring ham, beef, barley and beans to boil in about 30 fl oz water, and allow to simmer for about 2 hours. Add shredded cabbage and potatoes (other vegetables such as carrots and celery can be added if desired). After a further hour's cooking, thicken soup with cream previously blended with the flour, bring to the boil once more, and serve.
