Recipe: Friends of Potrero Hill Soup!
- 2 cups barley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 quarts vegetable broth (homemade, store bought, or bouillon) - we recommend organic vegetables - at school, each child brings one, so we have Zachary's zucchini, Paul's potato, etc
The night before:
Soak the barley in enough water to cover it
Day of:
Saute onion in olive oil in large soup pot
Drain barley and add to onion
Add vegetable broth to pot
Bring to a boil, then simmer
Add vegetables - you can do this in order of hardest to softest, but we find it's delicious no matter the order
Simmer 1.5 hrs, season with salt and pepper, and serve! Delicious with bread and butter.
