January Freezer Soup

This soup was born out of the January seed selection meeting with my girlfriends, and the question about how much of the last summer's harvest was still in the freezer.

I chopped and sweated with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt:
1/2 a LARGE onion
1 Med Leek
1 inch fresh ginger minced
2 Stalks of Celery chopped (med. dice)
2 Carrots chopped (med. dice)
1 small-med piece of prociutto end - diced

When the Onion was translucent I started adding additional veggies:
2 handfuls of frozen greenbeans - chopped into 1 inch pieces
3-4 handfuls of frozen chopped squash (1/2-1 inch dice)
About 10-12 nappa cabbage leaves shredded

Then I added a can of white beans, along with the homemade chicken stock (about 6-8 cups)
about 1/2 cup of barley
2 bay leaves
Celery seed
Parsley
Oregano
And let it cook until it was done!
