Ancient Grains Green Soup
Directions
Step 1
Before cooking, follow on-pack instructions to rinse and pick over uncooked soup mix.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large saucepan or pot. Add onion, garlic and celery, cooking for several minutes until tender. Stir in the spices and cook for a further minute, stirring often.
Step 3
Add stock, water and uncooked ancient grains to the pot, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes. Add kale, zucchini and broccoli, cooking a further 5 minutes until grains and vegetables are tender. Season to taste.
Tips
- If you have pre-cooked the whole bag already, you will need 2 cups of the cooked grains for this recipe. Simply add to the soup with the liquids and green vegetables for a shorter cooking time.
- Add some chopped chillies if you prefer a little heat, or a squeeze of lime for serving.
