[Guest guest]

I am very sorry for those of you who recieve this message multiple times

(like me) from being on multiple groups.

 

I got this from www.lightliving.com and væganised it.

 

Barley Vegetable Soup

 

1 large Onion - diced

1 clove Garlic - presses or minced

3 Carrots - diced

 

3 stalks of Celery - diced

3 large Roma Tomatoes - seeded and diced

1

small Zucchini - diced

1 cup Frozen Peas

3/4 cups Barley - soaked for

1/2 hour

6 cups of Vegetable Boullion, broth, & c.

Oregano, Basil, Salt and Pepper - to taste

Spray Olive Oil [ick!!]

 

Heat a large pot and spray with olive oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté

until soft. Add tomatoes and cook another few minutes until the pieces break

down. Add herbs and spices. Add stock, carrots, celery, zucchini and barley.

Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add frozen peas and cook

another 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings and serve hot.

 

**MY ADDITIONS:

FLAVOURS: The emphasised flavour of this recipe is ASTRINGENT, SALTY and

also a little SWEET.

 

PITTA: Limit the garlic salt, oil, and tomatoes to a minimum. Look at the

ingredients for your vegetable broth, because they often have a lot of salt.

Serve cool(er).

 

VATA: Increase salt and garlic. The sauté in oil is excellent. Decrease

pepper.

 

KAPHA: Eliminate salt, and go really, really heavy on the barley, the best

thing for kaphas!!

 

AMA: The pepper and warmness of this recipe helps eliminate ama a little.

 

Remember that the six flavours (sweet, sour, salty and spicy, bitter and

astringent) are important to have every day but some are better for you

depending on your dosha. Eat responsibly!!
