Steps:

• In a *VERY* large pot (I use a huge canning pot), put in 2 cups water.

• Stir in the soup mix, bouillon, spices, and the rest of the water.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add the barley.
• Let simmer, covered, for 1 to 2 hours.
• For a "stewier" soup, let simmer for additional time, stirring occasionally, until it's to your liking.

MIXED LEAFY GREEN SOUP "CALDO VERDE" WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a large pot, and place over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and paprika; lower the heat to medium; and cook, covered, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Put the greens into a blender and blend until pureed (you may use a little water to help, or use the wand tool that comes with some blenders to force the greens to blend without water). Pour this mixture into the pot, increase the heat to high, and cook until the water has evaporated from the greens.
• Pour two-thirds of the chickpeas into the blender with 1 cup of the stock and blend until smooth. Add the pureed chickpeas to the pot with the remaining chicken stock and chickpeas and bring to a simmer. Cook covered until the greens are tender and the soup has thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into four bowls and serve.

• Before experimenting with the soup, I suggest you make the first batch exactly to get the nutritional values, and to also see how you really will not need to improve on it. It is delicious, it has some bite from the spices, it is filling and has no annoying cabbage taste, It is really comforting and full of flavor.
• For the Soup mix, I use Lipton's Recipe Selects. They come in a box with two 10 ounce envelopes. For the cabbage, use a food processor or buy in a bag pre-shredded. 4 cups is about 1/2 head of a large cabbage. Where I live it is hard to find the Tomato Juice, but it is made by Campbell's. Sacramento brand has too much sodium. However, I find that the Vegetable Broth/Stock works just fine and is easier to get. For the canned tomatoes, you can also use canned Stewed tomatoes if they're available in low sodium.
• Perfect for Lunch or Dinner when dieting with Low-Fat wheat crackers or a sandwich, and some sliced fruit.
