Sprouted Mung Bean Soup
Make a wholesome soup — really tasty and a little out of the ordinary! Sprouted mung bean soup is interesting because it skips the usual lineup of vegetables — no potatoes, carrots, or onions. Mung beans are a legume grown in India, with a beautifully balanced mix of vitamins and minerals that makes them a nutritious, deeply nourishing food. Mung beans go into all kinds of dishes, and this recipe shares the secrets of a nourishing, vitamin-rich soup. Use any oil you like: olive, sesame, or sunflower.

- Soups of all kinds are great for your stomach. Doctors recommend working a bowl of something brothy into your menu once a day. Soups can be made with meat or vegetable stock, or simply with water — either way, it's a light dish. Soups digest faster, warm you up nicely, and aid digestion. For anyone living a healthy lifestyle, soup is a must! 1. Put the barley groats in a bowl and cover with water. Rinse them well and pour off the cloudy water, repeating a few times until the water runs completely clear. 2. Put the rinsed groats in a small container and cover with water — not cold water, room temperature is best. Leave them to swell overnight. 3. In the morning, rinse the sprouted mung beans and put them in a pot. Cover with water (the amount is listed in the ingredients) and set over the heat. 4. When the water boils, cover the pot, turn down the heat, and cook for 15–20 minutes, skimming off any foam with a slotted spoon. 5. Rinse the swollen barley groats once more and add them to the soup. Bring it back to a boil and keep cooking over low heat for another 10 minutes. 6. Now season the soup with salt and pepper to taste and take the pot off the heat. Let it rest, covered, for 10–15 minutes. 7. While the soup rests, wash and finely chop the parsley. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle each with a little oil, and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Enjoy!
