Another hearty and delicious soup, perfect for winter. This was one of my favorites before I became vegetarian, and I missed it enough that I tried to replicate the beefy flavor. This is now again one of my favorites. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 small onion, chopped fine |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 celery rib, chopped |
20 baby carrots, sliced |
2 cups boxed vegetable broth (e.g. whole foods brand) |
1 cup water |
1 -2 plum tomato, seeded and chopped |
1/3 cup barley, rinsed |
1/2 cup vegetarian ground beef, pre-cooked |
1/2-1 teaspoon tamari (or soy sauce) |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 bay leaf |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Saute onion in olive oil in a large saucepan until soft. Add garlic, celery, and carrot and saute for another 5 minutes.
2. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, or until barley is tender and serve.
