Warming Vegetables and Barley Soup
Serves 6
35 mins plus prep
Ingredients:
50g butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small leek, thinly sliced
2 turnips peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon plain (all-purpose) flour
1 litre vegetable stock (or chicken or beef stock, if you prefer)
4–5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce, to taste
100g pearl barley
1 bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
25g kale, roughly chopped
Salt and ground black pepper
Recipe:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan or casserole over a low–medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, leek and turnips.
Put the lid on the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, until softened but not browned.
Remove the lid and mix in the flour, then pour in the stock and Worcestershire sauce.
Bring the liquid to a simmer.
Add the pearl barley, bay leaf and thyme and cook for about 20 minutes, until the barley is tender to the bite.
Stir in the kale, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the kale has wilted.
If the soup feels quite thick, just add a little water to loosen.
Serve hot with some soda bread for tearing and dunking.
