Method:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the onions, leeks and garlic. Sauté for 2-4 minutes until coloured.
Add the swede, carrot, turmeric, ginger, chilli flakes and fresh sage and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring often.
Pour in the vegetable stock and the barley. Cover and cook over a low to medium heat for 25-35 minutes until the vegetables and barley are softened. Remove from the heat. Check the seasoning.
Add some microgreens to serve in each bowl for a fresh kick of flavour. Enjoy while warm with crusty bread.
