- Add barley, potatoes turnip, carrots and stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Mix in beans and liquid, pasta and tomato paste. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Cover, reduce heat and boil gently until pasta is tender (about 15 minutes) then add cabbage and cook, uncovered until it's tender/crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pass cheese to sprinkle over individual servings.
- If you want to add meat of any kind, you can cook it separately and add at the end. I sometimes add burger, sometimes sausage, sometimes I skip it. It's DELICIOUS any way it's done.
