I don't typically cook soup because to be honest, I don't really like it. Essentially, it's like having a glass of veggie juice for a meal and for the life of me I can't understand how people feel full after a cup of soup?! (unless it's couple with a giant French baguette!). The only time I do enjoy soup is when I'm sick. It's ridiculously comforting and keeps you warm. Lucky for me, I have the world's best roommate who made me this soup when I was bedridden with the flu. The recipe ended up making quite a bit, so we put the leftovers in the freezer.
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes chopped up
- 1 leek cut into round slices
- 3 carrots roughly chopped
- 4 chopped celery stick
- a handful of chopped spinach
- 1 cup of barley (or quinoa would work)
- enough water to cover
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Place all the veggies except the spinach into a large pot with the barley. Cover well with water, boil and simmer until everything is cooked. Add the spinach and salt and cook for another 5 minutes.
Enjoy!
