Who knew soup could be this easy?
2 onions, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
oil for sautéing
1 large parsnip
1 pound carrots
1 zucchini, unpeeled
1 handful barley, such as Glicks Pearl Barley (optional)
1/4 to 1/3 cup Gefen Split Peas (optional)
1 small can mushrooms
1 tablespoon salt
water, to cover
Sauté onions and celery in a little oil in six-quart pot.
Add whole parsnip, carrots, and zucchini. Add barley, split peas, can of drained mushrooms, salt, and enough water to fill pot three-fourths full. Bring to a boil and cook about one and a half hours or until carrots are soft.
Remove carrots from pot and set aside. Using a hand blender, blend vegetables in pot until smooth or desired consistency. Slice carrots into thin rounds, return to pot, and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
