directions
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and garlic and cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 3 minutes. Add parsley, mint, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Stir in barley, then broth.
2. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes or until soup just comes to a simmer and barley is cooked through. Remove from heat and let soup cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt to make a thick, creamy soup. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 to 7 minutes. If mixture separates slightly, stir well to recombine.
3. To serve, divide soup among 4 bowls. Garnish each portion with a sprinkling of paprika and a mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately.
