Direcciones
- 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.
