It's cold & dark out, what could be more comforting than a big bowl of hearty soup?

For those tracking macros, this recipe is 226kcal based on 4 (generous) portions or 5 (more modest) portions at 181kcal with % energy split: 74C/19F/9P.

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 baking potatoes

• 3 carrots

• 75g pearl barley & pea mix for stew

• 2 veg stock cubes

• Dried oregano

• Dried rosemary

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Roughly (but carefully!) chop onion & fry in olive oil in a large saucepan for a few minutes to soften.

2. Add cubed potato, carrot & pearl barley mix. I like my vegetables quite chunky but these can be made accordingly to personal preference, just note this may affect cooking time.

3. Sprinkle stock over the veg & grains and add freshly boiled water until veg is covered.

4. Bring to the boil for 10 minutes, mix, then simmer for 20-30 minutes until grains have soaked up some of the water and the vegetables have softened.

5. Season with herbs, salt & pepper.

Enjoy!
