Today we are going to make “Mom’s Barley Soup”. It’s early March, and in many places there’s still plenty of snow in the ground, which you can see out the window here.

During the 1918 flu epidemic forty million people died worldwide. That is a lot of people to die in a flu epidemic! Terrible. One of the women who assisted many to get well, was a homeopath – who treated with homeopathic remedies plus gave her patients barley broth. Barley has beta glucans in it. A very high amount of beta glucans that are very supportive of the immune system.

So this soup is chock full of super immunity ingredients that I talk about in my book, “Super Immunity Secrets,”which is available on Amazon in paperback and for Kindle, or downloadable as an ebook for 25% off http://www.superimmunitysecrets.com

I’d like to congratulate you for being here, because that took effort. Some people who are sick, who have cancer or heart disease or other illness, don’t even bother to put looking for an answer. Wellness is such a result of how we live our lives on a daily basis, and what kind of food we eat.

What’s really important today, is that you discover how quick and easy the soup is to make. Once you learn how easy it is, you’ll realize that no kitchen should be without a pot of nutritious, protective soup simmering on these stove during chilly months.

I’ve been a vegetarian over the last forty years. It has served me well. The recent China Study demonstrated that all degenerative illness could be either reversed or prevented with a mostly vegetarian diet (maximum 7% animal protein).

Animal products contain uric acid, which form crystals in the body, making it difficult to be alkaline and resist disease. If you want to have one recipe book in your kitchen I recommend my Super Immunity Secrets book – I designed it to have fifty easy vegan vegetarian recipes with immune protective herbs – as a guidebook to help you make wonderful foods for you and your family and friends.

So it takes about 5-7 minutes to put the ingredients in a big pot (quick and easy), and then takes about 2 hours to simmer till the barley is tender and all ingredients are melded into a delicious broth. It’s ideal to cook this kind of soup on weekend or evening when you are at home doing other things, but can keep an eye on the stove. This soup is made vegan style, with no meat bone, broth or other animal products. You could however if you wished add a soup bone to it, depending on where you or your family are in lifestyle habits and food choices.
Fill large soup pot to about half full with 3 quarts water. Turn burner on high heat, while adding rest of ingredients:
3/4-1 cup Pearled Barley (this will swell up to fill the pot) 3-4 fresh Tomatoes peeled and diced, or 1 30 oz. can of diced tomatoes with juice 2 cups or 1 can organic Great Northern Beans 2 diced Carrots 4-5 cloves unpeeled (the paper is high in vitamin C and will cook away) Garlic (contains allicin similar to penicillin) 2-3 medium Potatoes, cubed into bite-sized pieces 2 T diced Green Chilis (opt.) 2-3 tsp. red or green Chili powder (depending on tastes of your family – more or less) 1 tsp. Curry Powder 2-3 Tablespoons Oregano herb (strong antiviral, shown to be effective even against herpes) 1/2 tsp. Earth Salt (base on your taste, but the herbs will round out flavor so less salt is neeeded)
Let soup simmer 1 1/2 hrs.
Then add to pot and keep simmering another 20-30 minutes: 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro (shown by a Japanese dentist to eliminate mercury from the body) 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables 1 bunch Parsley, washed well and chopped 2-3 Tablespoons Virgin Olive Oil (don’t want to cook too much, but helps pull potent oils from the herbs) 2-3 Tablespoons natural Soy Sauce (or Tamari) 2 Tablespoons Umbeboshi Plum Vinegar (sour and salty) find in natural foods market in Oriental section – very alkalizing and rounds out flavors (opt.)
Also add another quart of water or whatever needed to keep lots of broth cooking in the soup.
Now, we have a wonderful pot of “Mom’s Vegan Barley Soup” with an aroma that is out of this world. Cary Ellis is author of “Super Immunity Secrets,” for sale on amazon in paperback and for Kindle. Also check out her site with great health tips and videos http://www.caryellis.com

READ HERE WHAT’S IN VIDEO:
Hi I’m Cary Ellis author of “Super Immunity Secrets.” Did you know there are number of every day herbs and spices that have amazing protective qualities? This book is short and sweet, easy to grab it, get some ideas and go.

It’s not a long book but its compact, with a hundred and seventy five clinical studies on every day herbs and spices, showing how they are protective against everything from cancer and heart disease, arthritis, immune system disorders and acute illnesses such as herpes, cold, common colds, flu.
This book is a must to have in your kitchen with fifty great vegan, vegetarian recipes using these protective herbs and spices. There are small sections on each herb’s protective qualities and why you should use them on an every day basis.

Beyond this book is our everyday life it’s how we live, how we take care of our bodies and there’s a full picture to building a strong immune system. Building a strong immune system has to do with our survivability in this world, and affects whether we can defend ourselves against a really serious degenerative illness. A huge number of people die of cancer and other degenerative illnesses each year. We want to live the kind of lifestyle where we can avoid these pitfalls.

The immune system is a complex system of hormones of messengers that tells the body when to fight how to fight, what to fight and what it needs to get rid of.

The body sometimes has to fight because we have exposure to things that we shouldn’t. Our modern world is full of chemicals and toxins the body has to protect itself against. Along with the body fighting and having a healthy immune system, we also nee a clean system, because this makes the immune system’s job much easier.

There are many ways to support the immune system, but something as simple as including everyday herbs and spices helps trigger better health at a cellular level, and support the immune systemin functioning better.

When the immune system is functioning better, when colds and flu come along we can turn our noses up at them and they’ll pass us by! Everyone in the neighborhood may be sick but we can stay well because we have fortified our body on a daily basis.

So commonly people say “Groan, I’m sick! What can I do? What’s the pill I can take? What is the drug that will make this go away?”

Truthfully, overcoming poor health or having sickness “go away,” is really a product of how we take care of ourselves from day to day; from meal to meal; from moment to moment. So taking care of ourselves everyday, is critically important in order to having a healthy immune system.

I have an entire program to help you learn how to develop your immune system whether you are fighting a degenerative illness or have a family member who just wants to be well when colds and flu come along seasonally. Learn with us at http://www.superimmunitysecrets.com

There are many other simple protective, preventive things we can implement in our daily lives. Let’s boost our immune system and increase vitality, so we know we are protected against all the “ooga boogas” that can come along in the form of either acute or chronic illness. Taking care of our well-being from moment to moment is so important.

Come along come to http://www.caryellis.com to discover many wonderful ways to be well and on the path to better health. Have a healthy day!
