I’ve had a bag of quick soup mix in my cupboard for a while and now that it’s 4 years past it’s best before date I decided it was time to use it.
It consists of green split peas, green lentils, yellow split peas, red split lentils, whole grain brown barley, and barley flakes. It’s about 20% protein (about 52% carbs but no sugar, salt, and low fat) which makes it a good addition to veggie soup which lacks protein.
So I boil some stock and added some squash, potato, and a carrot and then added the soup mix. I left on the hob to cook and all the liquid cooked away so it became stew! I added some mustard to punch up the flavour a bit but it was quite hearty!
