Kalebarley Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon, onions and carrots in Dutch oven on medium heat 12 min. or until bacon is almost done and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 min.
• Stir in chicken broth, pasta sauce and barley. Bring just to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 10 min., stirring occasionally.
• Add kale and beans; stir. Cook on medium heat 10 min., stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, butter, dried minced onion, salt, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a simmer, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, onion, garlic, and bay leaves in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato mixture; cook and stir another 5 minutes.
• Remove and discard bay leaves. Pour water into the stock pot. Stir green cabbage, beef base, herbes de Provence, and red pepper flakes into the water. Loosely cover the stock pot and cook the mixture for 25 minutes.
• Stir kidney beans and kale into the soup. Again loosely cover the pot and continue cooking another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic, and saute until onions are golden and tender, about 10 minutes.
• Raise the heat to high, stir in all the remaining ingredients, and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat to a lively simmer and cook about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened.
• Discard the bay leaves. Remove about 2 cups of the soup and puree in a blender or food processor. Return it to the soup and stir to blend. This soup?s flavor will intensify with time, so don?t hesitate to make it a few days in advance.

Steps:

• Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat, add barley, and simmer until just tender, about 1 hour.
• Add 2 cups stock to pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and add onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and salt. Season with pepper. Simmer until barley is soft, about 20 minutes.
• Add beans with liquid, kale, and remaining 2 cups water and 1 cup stock. Simmer until kale is tender and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
• Divide among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and lemon zest, and season with pepper.
