BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP



Barley Vegetable Soup image

Barley has been cultivated since the Stone Age and fermented to make beer soon after. Folk medicine has made use of barley water, made by simply soaking barley in water, as a tonic during convalescence. "Pearl" barley is the name of the grain when it's been polished, after the husk and bran have been removed. It's the form most commonly used in soups. This grain has one significant health advantage compared to most other cereal grains (oats and corn for example) it is very low on the glycemic index. Enjoy this old fashioned, hearty soup!

GRANDMA COFFEE'S BEEF BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP



Grandma Coffee's Beef Barley Vegetable Soup image

A wonderful family recipe, passed down by my mother (nicknamed Grandma Coffee by my daughters). This recipe gets a unique flavor from the rutabaga used in place of potatoes. The rutabaga gives it a wonderful flavor, and will not fall apart like potatoes tend to do in soup. I freeze half, and use half immediately. Enjoy with some crusty sourdough or French bread and a garden salad.

CROCK POT LENTIL VEGETABLE BARLEY SOUP RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Crock Pot Lentil Vegetable Barley Soup Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by DreiFromBK

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 large onion or one small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 medium summer squash (or zucchini), halved lengthwise and sliced thinly
1 C carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 C red lentils
1/2 C yellow split peas
1/2 C barley
1 can diced tomatoes
3 C vegetable broth (or chicken or beef), plus ~2 C extra water
1/2 t salt
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t black pepper
fresh or dried basil to top (optional)

Steps:

  • As with all crock pot recipes, this is a breeze to put together. Dice and layer all the veggies, and top with the grains, liquids and the spices (except the basil). The order I used was: onions and bell peppers, squash and carrots, lentils, peas, and barley, diced tomatoes and broth, salt, pepper, sugar, and finally the extra water. Set the crock pot on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. The lentils, peas, and barley will absorb a lot of water, so you may need to add even more extra (unless you like a nice thick soup like I do-then you will be very pleased when you arrive home from class!). Top with a sprinkle of basil and some pepper and enjoy!

  • Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  • When the soup has cooked for 10 minutes, realease pressure and add the vegetables, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Close pressure cooker and bring up to full pressure.
  • Reduce the heat until pressure is stabilized and cook and cook 10 minutes longer.
  • Release the pressure.
  • The soup can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leafy greens. You can also add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, corn, or zucchini.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to read the label carefully and choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the soup until the vegetables are tender. This will usually take about 30 minutes. You can check the tenderness of the vegetables by piercing them with a fork. If they are soft, they are done.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the soup more filling.
