Any veggie broth will do. I always keep a supply of bouillon on hand so I can make my own broth in minutes. <!--more-->I also buy bagged kale mix salads, often with shaved brussel sprouts or other hearty greens.\u00a0 I use greens from the salad mixes in soups and stir-frys because I love the &#8216;on the spot&#8217; flexibility, however, buying a bunch of kale is probably still the freshest option. If you don&#8217;t have kale, you could also sub out for chard. No fresh lemons? Use store-bought lemon juice from the produce department &#8211; it also lends great brightness and it&#8217;s also easy to keep on hand.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You Will Need<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>8+ cups of water<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon vegetable broth bouillon (I used Better Than Bouillon &#8211; Vegetarian Chicken)<\/li>\n<li>1-1\/2 cups diced kale, or use a hearty kale salad mix<\/li>\n<li>1 can of white beans or cannellini beans<\/li>\n<li>1-1\/2 cups of cooked barley<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup fresh lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup flat leaf parsley<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Prepare<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Prepare broth per bouillon instructions and make saltier or less saltier per your own preference. I steer towards the lighter side on sodium and then adjust my seasonings before serving as it&#8217;s always easier to ADD salt and impossible to remove it!\u00a0 Lemon also tends to make foods taste saltier, even though it&#8217;s really a tangy taste on the tastebuds. Always go for the lower sodium version when possible!<\/p>\n<p>Heat broth to a low boil and add in all of the beans and kale. Cook for 5 minutes on low. Add in the cooked barley and lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p>Simmer for another 5-8 minutes and add in the fresh parsley.<\/p>\n<p>Serve as is, or if you&#8217;re feeling fancy, make your own croutons! Drizzle some olive oil on bread with garlic salt and toast till crispy and plop on top of your hearty healthy soup!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can take lots of short cuts in this lemony kale, bean and barley soup and have it ready in 30 minutes!
