2BLEU'S VEGETABLE BARLEY SOUP
This is our vegan version of Recipe #390745. Barley is a wonderfully versatile cereal grain with a rich nutlike flavor and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. When the weather's cold, a big pot of soup simmering on the stove warms the heart as well as the hearth. In addition to its robust flavor, it's a very good source of fiber. If you can't find barley in your grocery store, you can purchase some of excellent quality pearl barley at www.nutsonline.com

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, leeks, and turnips.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to personalize your soup and make it your own. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaf, garlic, and black pepper.
