Barley Vegetable Soup

Mumbai experienced its first rains today for this season. Wanted to celebrate it with something steaming hot. This delicious barley veg soup was perfect for the occasion.

Wherenever I buy vegetables I have a habit of  keeping some portion of each veggie aside. This helps me to make different variety of mix vegetables. Sometimes I make chinese stir fry or a  veg curry. So today decided to make this  vegetable soup with some barley to welcome the rains.

 This made our today's dinner light and still healthy n filling.  Loved this delicious soup. It served my purpose of eathing nutritious and yet a delicious light meal. Hope you all too like it.










Ingredients :

4 tbsp.....................barley
2 .........................tomatoes ( pureed )
2 tbsp....................carrot ( finely cubed )
2 tbsp...................onions ( chopped )
2 tbsp...................capsicum ( finely cubed )
fistful ..................coriander leaves ( finely chopped )
1 tsp .......pepper powder
1 tbsp...................lemon juice
1 tbsp..................oil
salt


Method :

Wash and boil barley in 4 to 5 cups of water.

After 10 to 15 minutes barley will swell and become soft and the water will become thick.

Switch off the gas and keep barley with water aside.

In a soup pan add oil and saute onions till transluscent.

Now add carrots and saute for just 2 minutes.

Add tomato puree and stir fry for 5 minutes now add barley with water and give the soup a boil.

Finally add capsicums, chopped coriander, salt, pepper powder and lemon juice .

Just give a boil and serve hot immediately.

Take care not to over cook the vegetables.

The crispy vegetables give a the soup a rusty crunchiness .
