RECIPE: Bean and Barley Soup (Vegan) - OT-Not spicy.

[Guest guest]

This soup is suitable for kids of all ages and can be loaded with enough lentils

and barley

to make it a meal in a bowl. Serve it with hunks of crusty brown bread hot from

the oven -

or do as we sometimes do and whip up some baking-powder-leavened biscuits or

damper

or whatever your comfort bread from childhood might be to go along with it ;=)

 

Note: this soup is not spicy, but the 'adult' version could add cayenne to

taste.
