It’s getting cold here, and I always love soup in the winter. I’ve made a few soups recently, and I figured I’d share this one. It features carrots, cabbage, onions, potato, some great grains and a vegetable broth.

Prep:

• 1 Tbsp oil
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 carrots diced
• 1 small potato, diced
• 5 inner cabbage leaves, chiffonade or ribbon style.
• 1/8 cup pearl barley
• 1/8 cup  red lentil
• 1 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, and powdered garlic
• 1 large can/box of broth.

Cook

1. put oil in medium sauce pan over medium high heat
2. throw in onions, carrots and potato and sauté until onions are translucent.
3. add cabbage leaves, barley, lentils and spices and mix well.
4. add broth until pot is nearly full and bring to a boil.
5. When pot boils, reduce heat to a simmer for 1 hour.
6. Taste and season as needed.
