| Procedures: |
In a large skillet, heat butter and sauté leeks and onions for 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery and turnip and continue cooking for an
additional 10 minutes.
Add lamb to vegetables. Stir meat until lightly browned, breaking up any chunks of meat as it cooks.
Meanwhile, cover barley with boiling water and let stand 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Add to meat and vegetables with 1 cup of chicken broth. Cover and let steam over low heat for about 10 minutes. Add remaining chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 1.5 hours, or until barley is tender. Blend cornstarch and half-and-half and stir into soup.
Bring to a boil and allow to thicken(2 to 4 minutes). Add salt and pepper to taste.
