6 cup Chicken broth

Preparation
Put the oil and onion in a soup kettle, set over low heat, and cook
until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium,
stir in the garlic and carrots, and stir-cook for one minute. Add the
celery and stir-cok for a minute. Add the barley, broth, bay leaf,
and allspice. Bring to the boil, skimming the top of the soup as
necessary. Simmer, covered, for about one hour, or until the barley
is tender. (The soup may be prepared in advance to this point.)
Stir the ham into the piping hot soup and let simmer while you
prepare the mushrooms. Heat the butter in a small skillet, add the
mushrooms and lemon juice, and stir-cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in
the parsley. Add the mushroom mixture to the soup and simmer for 5
minutes longer. Discard the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and
freshly- ground pepper to taste. Ladle into warmed bowls and serve
immediately.
Makes 5 servings.

Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* You can make really good smoothies by using reduced carbohydrate yogurt.
Ok, well, it’s not technically cooking, but if you must have smoothies you can make them with low carbohydrate yogurt and your favorite fruit. Clearly, you will need to make sure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and make use of the whole fruit as the fiber is beneficial.
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for breaded foods.
Although you can possibly buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can also make them by using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the low carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a sheet of cookie paper. When it is well toasted, whizz it in the food processor using a coarse blade. Keep in an airtight jar.
