Directions
The recipe seemed so simple, and yet it turned out to be unbelievably delicious.
Words of warning: red cabbage can be messy to work with but it makes such a richly coloured broth that makes it taste even more delicious! A small-med size one will be good for two soups and you can freeze it in between. I also sometimes add things like broccoli stalks (I chop and freeze them for soups when I make things that require just florets) but I don’t recommend any starchy veggies like potatoes, it will ruin the flavour.
I also recommend that you cook ½ c barley separately. We add it to the bottom of each bowl because otherwise it will taste less like soup and more like porridge the next day.
