Making canned soup "Sardines" in a slow cooker

As for pearl barley, it should be thoroughly washed, poured with water and left in this condition overnight. During this time, the product will swell and require less time for heat treatment.
Cook the first dish in a slow cooker
Before making a delicious soup of canned "Sardine", boil pearl barley in advance. To do this, put it in a slow cooker, add water, salt, and then put it into the quenching mode. Cooking cereals is recommended for 40-50 minutes. During this time, it should become soft and lose its inherent mucus.
After the barley is boiled, it must be discarded on a sieve and rinsed thoroughly under tap water. Then you can safely proceed to the direct preparation of the first dish. To do this, fill the device’s bowl by 2/3 with clean water, then pour the potatoes, boiled pearl barley, onion, lavrushka and carrots.

After you achieve the softness of all the ingredients, then they should be seasoned with spices, and then put in a sardine soup with tomato sauce. Having mixed the broth with a large spoon, it is required to cook it in the same program for 10 minutes.
At the end of the first course you need to put chopped parsley. In this composition, the soup is recommended to withstand heating for another 5-8 minutes.
We serve the first course to the family table

It should be noted that the soup made on the basis of sardines in tomato sauce, as well as with the addition of pearl barley, very much resembles a dish such as pickle. By the way, if you want to make it even more similar to the dinner presented, we recommend that you add finely chopped pickled cucumbers and grated cloves of garlic to the broth. In this composition, your soup will turn out to be very fragrant, tasty and rich.
To summarize
You can make canned sardine soup not only using rice or pearl barley, but also purely with vegetables, as well as buckwheat or pasta. I would also like to say that cooking such a dish is acceptable with other varieties of flavored fish. For example, a dinner with pink salmon and saury turns out to be very tasty.
