Background
This is a wonderful, hearty and healthy soup for the winter. You can make it with either Savoy cabbage or Cavolo Nero -Β both versions are delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 50g pearl barley, rinsed
- 100g of Cavolo Nero or Savoy cabbage
- 2 medium potatoes ( waxy )
- 2 medium leeks
Instructions
- Bring the vegetable stock to boiling point, add the pearl barley and, under cover, simmer for 20 minutes.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice the leek into 1 cm rings. Add both to the soup, cook for 10 minutes, until the potato is tender.
- Shred or thinly slice the cabbage, add to the soup.
- Cook for a further 5 minutes under a lid.
- Serve warm with wholesome bread.
Tips
Use organic potatoes - these don't need to be peeled. If you don't have to worry about your health and waistline, serve it with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.© 2025 Copyright CookTogether
