I came up with this recipe after deciding that I need to go on a diet.
Since all you need to do is simmer, it doesn't take much effort, which is perfect for me.
I figured that adding the pressed barley would help you get your daily dose of fibre.
This soup is 100 % vegetarian.
It also tastes amazing with ginger and/or garlic.

If you're not dieting and aren't vegetarian, then add a bit of sausage or ham.
Ad ginger or garlic to boost the taste.
If you're on a diet, eat this as your only meal for dinner. Recipe by Shiena
