Barley

Health and fertility benefits of Bazaar Soup Mix Recipe

Barley is about the best grain a woman with PCOS can eat. It is low in calories and has the lowest GI of all grains. Low-GI grains such as barley take much longer to digest and create a slow, steady rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. As mentioned before on Fertility Chef, low-GI foods reduce cravings. If possible, try and find hulled barley as it is the most nutrient dense of all types of barley.

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried lentils, sorted
1/4 cup dried green split peas, sorted
1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 tablespoons medium pearl barley
4 teaspoons beef or chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup uncooked small pasta shells

Instructions

In a 1-pint jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, layer the first nine ingredients in the order listed. Wrap pasta in a small piece of plastic wrap; add to jar. Seal tightly. Store in a cool dry place for up to 3 months. Yield: 1 batch (1-1/2 cups).
To prepare soup: Remove pasta from top of jar and set aside. In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the water, tomatoes and soup mix; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Stir in reserved pasta; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes longer or until pasta, lentils, peas and barley are tender.
