Barley Soup
April 21, 2022
Serves 4
You can omit the bouillon cube and use homemade chicken or vegetable broth instead of the water if you prefer. If you have a food dehydrator, you can make your own vegetable mix or you can purchase dehydrated vegetables at Bulk Barn.
Jar Mix
- 1/2 cup pearled barley
- 1/2 cup mixed dehydrated mixed vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, leeks, red and green bell pepper, cabbage, celery)
- 3 tablespoons mixed Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
Additional Ingredients
- 1 – 796ml can diced tomatoes with juices
Directions: Remove wrapper from bouillon cube. Add it, plus all ingredients in the jar, to a large saucepan. Add 4 cups of water and the tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the barley is tender, 30-40 minutes. Add more water or broth if the soup is too thick. Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired.
