Инструкции
In a large pot, add the broth, water, barley, bay leaves, soy sauce, thyme, garlic, sage and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour.
Stir in onions, carrots, zucchini and yellow squash. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender about 25-30 minutes.
Stir in spinach and corn. Add fresh ground pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and discard bay leaves.
Serve at once or store in the fridge. This soup freezes great.
Shopping Tips
Most supermarkets carry vegetable broth in a 4-cup (32 oz) carton. We used the brand, Organics, sold at Vons/Safeway. Trader Joeâs sells an organic one thatâs a little lower in sodium. Itâs not their reduced-sodium one but their regular organic broth. Swansonâs also makes a vegetable broth but itâs the highest in sodium.
Pearl barley can be found in the aisle where rice and dried beans are sold.
