Good for the soul soup

I made this up tonight and we had it with homemade whole wheat bread.
Good for the soul broccoli soup
2 broccoli crowns
2 carrots
one leek
1 T ginger
3 cloves garlic
1 onion
1 c barley
1 c cooked white beans
water
3 c soymilk
2 T margarine
6 T flour
fave spices

Dice the vegetables in small pieces and sautee. Add beans and barley. Add enough water to cover the mix with a bit left over because barley will expand. Bring to a boil and then simmer.

In a bowl add flour and 2 cups soymilk and mix until well blended. Melt margarine in a sauce pan then add the soymilk/flour mix. It will thicken into a roux. Add one c of soymilk. Then add this to the soup that is still simmering.

Spice it up baby!
