Health and fertility benefits of Vegetable-Beef-Barley Soup
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
1/2 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained, cut up
1 can (14 oz) beef broth
1 can (8 oz) no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (from 1-lb bag)
1/3 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley
Instructions
In 3-quart saucepan, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and barley are tender.
