Cabbage, Barley and Bean Soup
Cabbage’s subtle sweetness is nicely contrasted with smoky paprika and a finishing dash of red wine vinegar in this well-balanced soup. Eat a cu...p or bowl alongside a wrap or sandwich to add a filling dose of fibre to a meal. Or, enjoy it as a veg-forward starter. It’s warming enough to enjoy on a cold day but light and brothy enough to hit the spot as we step into spring.

Yes, I have just made this soup. It was quick and easy to do - I had to make a couple of substitutions, and didn’t have any red wine vinegar to add at the end - but even so, it is delicious! Many thanks to Dr Rupy and the Team for the guidance, and especially for the nutritional benefits info.
Great soup. Hearty, warming and comforting. I had to make a few substitutions: borlotti beans, yellow split peas.. still worked well. I also felt it needed a wee bit more zing and so added extra tomato purée (that could just be my taste preference) and doubled quantity of paprika too. I also didn’t have red wine vinegar and so used a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. The addition of the vinegar at the end is a good one! Yum
The barley needed cooking for 45 mins. I enjoyed this with bread and cheese and enough for 1 leftover.
