Healthy and Hardy Barley Soup
Ingredients
- 1 cup barley-soaked in water overnight
- 2 medium carrots-diced
- 1 big onion-chopped
- 2 celery stalks-chopped
- 2 garlic cloves-finely chopped
- 1 can cup mushrooms-drained and washed
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt-or more
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 2 Tbsp dill- chopped (optional)
For me soup is totally a meal by itself. I like to add as many vegetables as possible and this soup just gets better and better as it cooks.
Instructions
1) Heat up the oil in a soup pot and start sauteing the onions and celery. After 3-5 minutes, add the carrots, mix for a minute. Then add the mushrooms and mix until they are golden. Add the garlic, mix, and turn off the flame.
2) Add the spices and the drained barley and cover with water. Add chopped dill.
3) Bring to a boil, lower the flame and cook for about an hour and a half. The soup should get starchy and slightly thick. Salt and pepper to taste, and finish with fresh chopped dill.
