Veggie Barley Soup (Recipe)


Ingredients

✅ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)

✅ 1 medium onion, diced

✅ 2 medium carrots, sliced

✅ 2 medium celery stalks, diced

✅ 4 garlic cloves, minced

✅ 6 cups vegetable broth
✅ 1 (14 ounce or 400 gram) can diced tomatoes in sauce

✅ ½ cup pearl barley

✅ 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

✅ 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

✅ 2 cups fresh kale leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces

✅ 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

✅ 2 cans chickpeas, drained (28oz - 800 grams)

✅ Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions


1️⃣ Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place it over medium heat.


2️⃣ Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sweat the veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften up.


3️⃣ Stir in the garlic and sauté it with the veggies for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until very fragrant.


4️⃣ Stir in the broth, tomatoes, barley, rosemary, and thyme. Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, until the barley is beginning to soften up but not yet done. You can add more broth or water at any point if it reduces too much.


5️⃣ Stir in the kale and continue simmering the soup until the kale and barley are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes more.


6️⃣ Stir in the peas and chickpea, and continue cooking the soup for about 1 minute, until the chickpea and peas are warm.


7️⃣ Remove the pot from heat and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

Enjoy!!!
