Beet & Barley Vegetable Soup

Beet & Barley Vegetable Soup

Beet & Barley Vegetable Soup is a delicious and easy soup to make and is lovely to enjoy during the late summer or early fall once the weather begins to cool off. Beets are a magnificent source of Vitamin A, C, Manganese, and Potassium and pair well with an otherwise straightforward barley veggie soup. For this recipe, we used the quick pearl barley, so if you use a whole grain barely, the soup will have to simmer longer and you may want to add an additional cup of broth as the barely soaks it up.

Ingredients

Serves: 6 Time: 45-50 minutes

Beet & Barley Vegetable Soup

  • 4 medium-large beets
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup peas, frozen or fresh
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small yellow squash, thinly chopped
  • 2-3 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup quick pearl barley
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 tsp dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. In a stovetop pot, add enough water to cover the beets. Place on the stove and bring the beets to a boil, boiling for about 20 minutes or until they’ve softened.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining vegetables for your soup.
  3. In a large pot, set heat to medium-high and begin to sauté the onion and celery, stir together constantly and cook together for about 5-7 minutes, adding a splash of broth if needed to deglaze the pot. Then, add the carrot, peas, and squash.
  4. Continue stirring the vegetables together for about another 5 minutes, then add in the seasonings, bay leaves, and vegetable broth.
  5. Allow the soup to simmer on medium while you drain the beets, peel off the skin, and chop them into 1/2 – 1/4 inch quarter slices.
  6. Add the beets to the soup along with the barley. Bring the heat up to high and allow the soup to reach a boil and cook for 7 minutes once boiling.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and allow it to simmer for another 10-12 minutes.
  8. Once your veggies have softened and the barley is cooked, your soup is ready to be removed from the heat.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5 Time: 60 minutes

Roasted Butternut Squash Curry

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 oz) can lite coconut milk*
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced

  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp black pepper & salt
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups water
  • Minced cilantro for garnish, optional

*Lite coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400º F.
  2. Prepare your squash by removing the ends, seeds, and cutting into about 1 1/2 – 2 inch chunks, leaving the skin on.
  3. Lightly toss the butternut squash in a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes or until softened.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare your onion, carrot, chickpeas, and mushrooms, and begin cooking your rice in the rice cooker or on the stovetop.
  5. Once the squash is done, remove from the oven. You may choose to leave the skin on or off.
  6. Transfer the squash to a medium pot and begin to puree with an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender or food processor) until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin, coconut milk, and all of the remaining spices. Set heat to low and cover with a lid, allowing it to simmer.
  7. Then, in a skillet, add 1 Tbs of olive oil and set heat to high.
  8. Begin sautéing the onion and garlic, cooking for about 7-8 minutes. Then, add the carrot and cook for another 5 minutes.
  9. Mix in the mushrooms and chickpeas and lime juice.
  10. Lightly season with a dash of salt and pepper and the same spices you used for the sauce, adding just a small pinch of each.
  11. Once the vegetables have softened, pour the butternut curry sauce into the skillet and mix together well. Simmer on medium-low for another 10 minutes.
  12. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired before removing from heat.
  13. Serve over rice and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1-2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Paprika
  • Garlic Powder
  • Ground Mustard
  • Chili Powder
  • Ground Sage
  • Ground Thyme

Directions

  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 400ºF and preparing your vegetables.
  2. Setting the rainbow chard, garlic, onion, and turnips aside. Drain the chickpeas into a colander.
  3. Next, add the romano beans and cherry tomatoes to a roasting pan.
  4. Mix in with 1 Tbs olive oil and apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp salt and black pepper, 2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder & ground mustard, and sage. Toss together well and place in the oven, roast for about 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium-large pot, add the vegetable broth or water. Add in a pinch of salt. 
  6. Once boiling, stir in the grits along with a dash of black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix together for 1-2 minutes, then reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the grits aren’t clumping together at the bottom.
  7. Next, in a medium skillet add another splash of olive oil. 
  8. Once hot, add in the garlic and onion. Cook together for 5-7 minutes. Then add the turnips and chickpeas, season with 1/2 tsp ground thyme & mustard, and a dash of salt and black pepper.
  9. Then, add the rainbow chard. Stir together for 5-7 minutes until chard lightly wilts.
  10. Cook together for about 12-15 minutes, adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar at a time to deglaze the pan towards the end. 
  11. Turn off the heat on the chard, and once the beans and tomatoes have finished roasting, remove from the oven and combine with the rainbow chard mix. 
  12. Remove grits from heat once fully cooked* and serve together with vegetables and enjoy!

*For some creamy grits, add about 1 Tbs of non-dairy or dairy butter towards the end of cooking, we also like to add 1-2 Tbs of nutritional yeast and a generous dash of old bay seasoning.
