Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
1/2 cups hull-less barley or hulled barley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1.2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups spinach, arugula, or mixed greens torn into pieces
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh basil, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried basil)
Directions
Pour olive oil into a heavy stock pot and place over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté lightly 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in barley, thyme, marjoram, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, immediately reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is almost absorbed and barley is tender, stirring occasionally, 90 minutes (or 50 minutes if using pearl barley). When barley is finished cooking, add spinach, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Stir to blend and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve warm.
