4 oz pearl barley

Recipe
Preparation
Heat oil in a large soup pot. When hot, put in the garlic & stir
quickly. Add the jalapeno, quickly followed by the cumin & paprika.
Cook for a few moments, stirring enough to prevent it sticking. Add
the tomatoes & barley & quickly stir. Let cook very gently until the
tomatoes begin to break down. Stir occasionally. Add the stock,
bring to a boil & then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered for about
10 minutes.
Add the peas, beans & cabbage. Raise heat to return the soup to a
boil & then lower heat again & continue to simmer until the barley is
cooked & tender. Season with salt & lots of black pepper. Add a
little more stock if necessary. Cook for a few moments longer & then
serve.
NOTE: This soup may benefit from a splash of lemon or lime juice. You
could sprinkle over some parsley or cilantro as well.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Food labels can be misleading
Watch out for sales blurb that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the product. Quite a few are only marginally decreased and in some instances still more than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* You can create really good smoothies with reduced carbohydrate yogurt.
Ok, well, it’s not technically cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make them with low carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you will need to ensure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
