Ingredients
250g(9oz) broth mix (a mixture of 75g(3oz) pearl barley, 75g(3oz) yellow split peas, 50g(1.75oz) red split lentils and 50g(1.75oz) green split or marrowfat peas)
1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 leek, washed and sliced
1 medium turnip, peeled and finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
3 celery sticks, trimmed and finely chopped
3 liters(13 cups) lamb stock
200g(7oz) kale chopped
STEP 1
Rinse the soup mix and soak in cold water for 8 hours or overnight, covered in a cool place. Drain and rinse well.
STEP 2
Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion, leek, turnip, carrots and celery for 10 mins, covered with a lid, until soft but not golden. Add a generous pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
STEP 3
Pour the stock into the pan and bring to a simmer. Add the drained soup mix, and gently simmer for 1 hour part-covered, until the barley and split peas are tender. Season again if needed. Stir in the kale, and cook for 10-15 mins until tender, then ladle into bowls to serve.
