Hey, everyone!
Back with another tried and true favourite of mine. This soup is so filling and satisfying, I could almost eat a bowl every single day.
Not only is it packed with fibre, but it’s extremely versatile. The vegetables I included in the recipe below can be adapted to any leftover produce you may have in the fridge.
Although spring is around the corner, we’ve still got some chilly days ahead of us. Why not enjoy them with a bowl of hearty soup?
Happy cooking!

Instructions

- Continue to cook over medium-low heat until all vegetables and barley are tender, about an hour.
