Background

This is a wonderful, hearty and healthy soup for the winter. You can make it with either Savoy cabbage or Cavolo Nero - 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.
