I know it was quite warm out today, but I was in the mood for some soup. Although I can't wait for BBQ, I also miss the comfort foods of soups and roasts.
2 cups carrot juice
1 cup water
1/2 cup of barley
3 large carrots (sliced)
2 celery sticks (sliced)
1 handful of white button mushrooms (sliced)
1 large onion (slap chopped) * I just got one and love it ;)
1 tbsp of your oil of choice (I used EVOO)
Dash or two of smoked paprika
Dash or two of cumin
Dash or two of thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat your pot on medium heat, add oil and then add the onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms and saute until the onions are transparent. Add your barley and stir for another 3 minutes or so. Then add the carrot juice and water. Stir again and bring to a boil. Season with the paprika, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper to your desire. Simmer for 30 minutes until the veggies are tender.
If you would like to add some protein...I have also done this with beef. Before you add your veggies. Brown the beef in the oil then follow the directions above.
Bon appetite!
