  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 3/4 cup pearl barley
  • 1 diced yellow onion

  • optional freshly grated ginger

Instructions

  • Heat some oil in a pot and add the onion and garlic and let it cook for 30 seconds. Add the celery, barley, carrots, turmeric and curry; give it a stir and let it cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth, bring it to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover for 30 minutes.
  • It’s time to add the potato and beans to the party, again bring the soup back to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cover for 10 minutes.
  • Do a taste test and adjust with salt and pepper, mine lacked a lot of salt.

Notes

This soup freeze very well but do note it will thicken, you can add a little bit of broth or water to thin it a little.
