1. 1

   RINSE THE BARLEY and put it in a pot with the water and salt to taste.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain the barley. (The liquid can be reserved to use in another soup.) Toss the onions into the warm barley to wilt them slightly; then put the mixture in a soup bowl with the buttermilk.

4. 4

   Stir in the turmeric and herbs and season to taste with additional salt.

5. 5

   Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

6. 6

   Serve with freshly ground pepper and paprika or with a garnish of blossoms, such as chive blossoms, cilantro flowers or mustard petals.
