- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 6 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock

- 1/2 cup pearl barley

- 1 teaspoon sour cream(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Method:
Step 2
<a href="/XZFHRHHF">Heat </a>the oil in a <a href="/7NRWTTFN">soup </a>pot over medium <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat.</a> Add<a href="/6L7QNTJV"> chopped</a> onion, and cook until translucent. Add the garlic, jalapeno pepper, and all spices, except<a href="/DPSVTKVY"> salt</a> and pepper.<a href="/DRM2WPZ4"> Sti</a>r this in well and cook for a minute or two.
Step 3
<a href="/DRM2WPZ4">Stir </a>in the water, stock, lentils, barley, tomatoes, and <a href="/DPSVTKVY">salt </a>and pepper. Bring to a <a href="/W7VKDJHH">boil,</a> cover and <a href="/GFSF4J5F">simmer,</a> <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">stirring </a>occasionally, for 45 minutes or a bit longer, if necessary, until the lentils are <a href="/3L3754DG">tender.</a> <a href="/Y6MVNCHX">Serve </a>in a <a href="/7NRWTTFN">soup </a>mug or bowl and add a tsp of <a href="/3JV6BKBV">sour </a><a href="/R3P5MM3Z">cream </a>if you like. I think it adds a nice,<a href="/GZFHJC5K"> cool</a> creamy contrast to the spicy<a href="/7NRWTTFN"> soup</a>.
Step 4
Note: you’ll probably need to add more broth to this <a href="/7NRWTTFN">soup </a>if you <a href="/36R8LV5G">store </a>it in the fridge, as the lentils and the barley <a href="/NM2HN7TN">soak </a>up the spicy broth during storage. A bit of chicken or vegetable broth or even some<a href="/FVYNJCCW"> warm</a> water<a href="/TPWNYF5L"> can</a> be used to loosen it up again when reheating.
