My grandmother served this soup on a recent visit, and I was instantly sold. It’s surprisingly simple for the depth of flavor it delivers. Try it, and you’ll see what I mean.
3 tablespoons oil, such as Gefen Canola Oil
2 large onions
3 cloves garlic, minced or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
3 large knob celery, peeled and diced
1 parsnip, peeled and diced
1 large Yukon gold potato, peeled and diced
1 zucchini, peeled and diced
10 cups water (plus 2, if using barley)
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Gefen Barley (optional)
In a large pot, heat the oil.
Add the onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the rest of the vegetables, then add the water and spices.
Bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and allow to cook until all the vegetables are fork-tender, about one to one and a half hours. Remove from heat and allow to cool before blending with an immersion blender.
If adding barley, add two cups of water and the barley and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and allow to simmer for an additional hour.
