Introduction

Most of the time you spend on this soup is letting it sit on the hob. You can roast the garlic while the soup is cooking. The vegetable soup mix used in this recipe is a mixture of barley, split peas, lentils, dried veg, and macaroni, available at most stores in the UK.
This gets really thick in the fridge but can be thinned out by adding more water.

Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
    3 carrots, peeled and chopped
    125 fl oz. water
    1 c vegetable soup mix
    1 c pearl barley
    1 onion, quartered
    1-2 bulbs roasted garlic

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400F/190C. Cut the top off one or two bulbs of garlic, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and throw in the oven for 30-45 minutes, or until garlic is golden brown.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a very large soup pot. Add carrots and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add as much water as possible, veg mix, barley, onion, herbs, salt, and Marmite. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer on low for at least 25 minutes. Add garlic, TVP, potatoes, and remaining water. Cook over low for another 30 minutes.
