Transfer all the pulses and grains in a large glass storage jar. Shake the jar and your Soup Mix is ready!With these doses you will obtain approximately 5-6 portions of soup. Whenever you want to prepare a warm and comforting soup, soak 400 grams of your Soup Mix overnight or for at least 8 hours (this dose is for 4 people, you can of course scale it down or up: calculate approximately 100 grams of Soup Mix per person).
In a large casserole, heat the olive oil over medium heat; stir fry onion and carrot until just softened. Drain and rinse the Soup Mix thoroughly and add it to the casserole together with the vegetable stock.
Cover with the hot water and bring to the boil for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for approximately one hour and half, until the pulses and grains have softened (cooking time may change, depending on the type of pulses you use for the mix).
While your soup is cooking you may add all the spices you like (we recommend a couple of bay leaves, some dry parsley and a pinch of chili pepper).
Once the pulses and grains are fully cooked, let the soup rest of 5 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and parmesan.
