INSTRUCTIONS
Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil on medium heat until the
onions are translucent. Combine the barley, lima beans, split peas,
lentils, miso, and water with the onion/garlic, and bring to a boil.
Add the turnips and carrots, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for
about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. ("But grandma, where did
they get miso in the Ukraine?" "Shut up and eat your soup.") (If you
have broccoli stems, peel and slice them and add them at this point.
I also snagged about 1 cup of shredded/sliced cabbage from the main
dish, and added about 1/2 hour before the soup was done). Add the
mushrooms, spices and tamari and continue cooking on a low heat for
another hour. Add the butter or margarine, let sit for a few minutes,
and serve. If cooking the night before, you might want to add 1 cup
of water and heat again just before serving; the barley tends to
absorb water, and if you omit this extra water you end up with a tasty
gruel. The butter can be omitted, but it makes for a heartier soup.
