Irish Vegetable Soup
Report
This Irish Vegetable Soup recipe is loaded with all the good stuff in life! It has an abundance of root vegetables, garden vegetables, stock and barley. This recipe is reminiscent of a farmhouse Vegetable Soup that would have originated in Ireland centuries ago. Vegetables grown around the farm were thrown into a pot of water and cooked. Any grains available would have been thrown in the pot too. The end result was flavorful, healthy meal, chocked full of vitamins and fiber, that's low in calories.
