Diet Info: DF GF F LF Na LS VG V Fa

This low calorie vegetarian soup is perfect when we are planning to stay on diet but yet eat full stomach. The kale, filling barley, herbs and veggies not only make healthy soup but also a flavorful winter meal.

I have used homemade vegetable stock for this recipe. If you do not have time to make stock at home, use only a low sodium stock, preferably organic to avoid any preservatives. 

I often pair this soup with a healthy side salad:

Very Berry Fruit Salad Carrot and Sweet Potato Salad Blackened Fish Taco Salad

Ingredients

Directions

  • 1. Heat oil in a deep heavy bottom pan. Add veggies with garlic and ginger and saute until veggies are soft. (3-4 minutes)
  • 2. Add 5 cups of vegetable stock, herbs, and barley. Bring to boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until barley is tender. Additional Notes: Barley will still be little chewy in texture.
  • 3. Now add salt (taste the soup base before adding salt since if using canned stock, it will already have salt in it). Add chopped kale leaves (discard stems), lemon zest and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Finish with fresh chopped parsley leaves and more lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!
Savita's Notes:
I prefer to save time by preparing stock in pressure cooker in just 7-10 minutes, not only this saves time but also lock in all nutrients. So try this if you do not to want to spend lot of time in making stock.
