Categories: Soups, Appetizers, Vegetarian, Mark's

Yield: 6 servings

 

2 tb Olive oil

2 ea Garlic cloves, chopped

1 ea Jalapeno chile, finely

-- chopped

1/2 ts Cumin powder

1/2 ts Hungarian paprika

1 md Tomato, finely chopped

4 oz Pearl barley

3 c Stock

2 c Cabbage, shredded

1 c Green peas, fresh or frozen

1 c Green beans, fresh or frozen

Salt & pepper

 

Heat oil in a large soup pot. When hot, put in the garlic & stir

quickly. Add the jalapeno, quickly followed by the cumin & paprika.

Cook for a few moments, stirring enough to prevent it sticking. Add

the tomatoes & barley & quickly stir. Let cook very gently until the

tomatoes begin to break down. Stir occasionally. Add the stock,

bring to a boil & then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered for about

10 minutes.

 

Add the peas, beans & cabbage. Raise heat to return the soup to a

boil & then lower heat again & continue to simmer until the barley is

cooked & tender. Season with salt & lots of black pepper. Add a

little more stock if necessary. Cook for a few moments longer & then

serve.

 

NOTE: This soup may benefit from a splash of lemon or lime juice. You

could sprinkle over some parsley or cilantro as well.
