VEGETABLE SOUP

VEGETABLE SOUP – 2-4 SERVINGS

Vegetable Soup with Barley Noodles is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines fresh vegetables with barley noodles. This soup is perfect for cold days, when it will warm you up and provide the body with the energy it needs.

Soup usually contains a mixture of various vegetables, such as carrots, celery, parsley, potatoes, and onions, which are cut into small cubes. To the basic vegetable mixture, broths – either vegetable or chicken – and spices such as salt, pepper, and optionally herbs, such as thyme or bay leaves, are added.

The barley noodles that are in the soup are usually thin and small, easily absorbing the flavor of the broth and adding a delicate texture to the dish. The noodles are cooked directly in the soup, which ensures that they remain tender and delicious.

Overall, this soup is refreshing, light, yet filling. The barley noodles have an added health benefit, as barley is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
