Add any amount, chopped any size of the following vegetables:

Carrot Mustard Greens, wash leaves and cut off tougher, lower part of stems before chopping leaves to desired size

Simmer as long as desired. Place tougher vegetable pieces in first, simmer and then add more delicate vegetables later so all are tender but not overcooked.

Add any amount of cooked Black Beans

Add the following seasonings as desired:

Sea salt or Tamari or Soy Sauce Fresh Cilantro Leaves

Add cooked Barley at last minute. If grain sits in soup for longer periods of time the grain can soak up all or most of the broth.
