In reply to Elci. The recipe posted at America’s Test Kitchen includes frozen peas, but this recipe looks to have gone without. If peas would make the dish for you, toss away!

[…] I kicked off 2014 with a cleanse. This meant no flour or sugar in week one, no animal in week 2, and only raw food in week 3. I adhered to the rules imperfectly, but the difference between my imperfect cleanse and what had become my normal was substantial. There were other guides as well – unplug a bit, read more, meditate, do yoga. The event of the cleanse was 21 days long because – unhappenstance-ily- this is how long it takes to make a new habit. And it worked. I think I can say now that I actually practice yoga (don’t get me wrong, my down dogs are down puppies and my binds are easily breakable but its a nice new habit. I am improving and I feel good). Another change… flour and sugar and meat do not appeal as much as they did in December. Our groceries are almost all organic now. My friendship with a vegan friend has flourished a bit more…(is it just me or did you also just notice that the root of that word is “flour”?!!). I might have made a roast chicken last night but that just did not appeal, instead?…Vegetable Barley Soup. Yummy. I gingerly followed the Cooks Illustrated recipe you can find here: http://www.whatmegansmaking.com/2011/10/farmhouse-vegetable-barley-soup.html […]

The list of ingredients does not show peas (in method instructions).

This soup looks like it’s so full of incredible flavor – and super comforting too.

In reply to Andrea. I've never thought of barly as having an earthy flavor...I think of it as more like rice or couscous or something, I might be wrong though, as this soup probably masks the flavor pretty well. And yes, I chose the winner and updated the giveaway post. :)

I’ve never tried barley before… does it have a really earthy flavor?
& I was wondering if I missed the winner to your spices giveaway?

I would love all that cabbage…what is he talking about….hehe 🙂
I also love that the soup has barley in it. Makes it really filling!

This sounds like a wonderful lunchtime soup – with or without the husband’s approval. 🙂
