Directions:
- In a small saute pan, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until done. Add to large soup pot.
- Next add the beef bone.
- In a separate large saute pan, sear the beef cubes long enough so the outside is brown but the inside still remains raw. This will take about 5 minutes. Add the beef to the soup pot.
- Next add the vegetables, barley and water. Squeeze a lemon into the soup to help pull the minerals out of the bone.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer on low for about 45 minutes, covered.
Here are a few other ideas to pump up this soup with even more nutrients:
- If you have any pumpkins around near the fall harvest festivals, add cubed pumpkin. This will give you plenty of beta carotene.
- Yams are another good addition, as these vegetables contain greater amounts of beta-carotene than carrots, like pumpkins.
- You could try substituting einkorn wheat for the barley. Einkorn wheat is the original wheat that people ate thousands of years ago. It's available online.
