Ingredients

  • 12 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped fresh green beans
  • 1 1/4 cups cubed turnips
  • 1/2 cup chopped leeks
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/3 cup barley
  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Measure the chicken broth into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil. Add the beans, turnips, leeks, carrots and barley; simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and green pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the sprouts are tender, about 30 minutes more.
