Soup Of Barley & Vegetables Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 each garlic cloves, chopped
1 each jalapeno chile, finely - chopped
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp hungarian paprika
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
4 oz pearl barley
3 cup stock
2 cup cabbage, shredded
1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
1 cup green beans, fresh or frozen
1 salt & pepper
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 weightMake 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 pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
