Yes, it’s generally recommended to cook pearled barley before adding it to soup. Cooking it separately ensures it is tender and fully cooked, which can enhance the overall texture of the soup. If added directly to the soup without pre-cooking, it may not soften properly and could absorb too much liquid, altering the soup's consistency. However, if you prefer a one-pot method, you can add it raw, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
