Being brave and bold sounds exhausting, doesn’t it? Just the thought of it makes me want to take a nap. However, there are people in this world who have to be brave and bold whether they want to or not, whether they’re up to the task or not. I always thought that bold and brave was synonymous with strong and tough, but now I think that soft and sweet might also be the essential ingredients needed to face the world. This soup is filled with hearty vegetables, fiber, and a little inherent sweetness of its own.
Ingredients:
1 sweet onion
4 stalks of celery
1 box mushrooms
2-3 large carrots
1 box organic vegetable soup
2 cups of water
1 cup barley
1-2 fresh pears
1/2 tsp of avocado oil & honey
Seasonings - Salt + pepper, sage, TJ's mushroom
Instructions:
Saute onion and celery in oil and honey until soft and sweet
Rinse barley, add to pot of boiling liquids
Add carrots and mushrooms when barley is partially cooked, add seasonings to taste
After it’s almost fully cooked, add the pealed pears, cut them up, drop them in, and let them soften. This adds a burst of sweetness to the soup.
