This is the perfect soup to warm you up, fill you with goodness and is so easy to make, as it is so filling you can have this for a winter tea with warm crusty bread.
I used ASDA pearl barley which is 65p for a 500g bag, chorizo sausage which was £2.50 and the chopped tomatoes at 65p a tin. An inexpensive family meal under £5 or a weeks worth of lunches for 1 person.
This recipe will make up 6 generous bowls.
Ingredients
75g of diced chorizo
1 large white onion finely chopped
2 large carrots
2 celery stalks
2 cloves of garlic crushed
150g of pearl barley
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp harissa paste
1 tbsp turmeric
1 litre of vegetable stock
Method
Heat up some olive oil in a large pan and fry off the chorizo until it starts to look crispy. Add in the diced onion, celery and carrot and soften.
Add in the harissa paste and the turmeric, stir and fry for a few more minutes. Add in the 1 litre of stock, the pearl barley and tin of tomatoes. simmer for 30 minutes as this soup gets quite thick add in more boiled water if needed.
Part blend when you are happy with the consistency and serve.
