INSTRUCTIONS
6 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE
This is a vegetarian version of a traditional South American soup.
In large, heavy nonreactive pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion
and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and barley
and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add stock and sazon and simmer gently,
uncovered, until barley is tender, 60 to 80 minutes. Stir in peas,
scallions, corn and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Simmer
just until heated through. Serve immediately, topping each serving with
sliced avocado.
