Parsnip and Leek soup

Leek and Potato is a classic soup combo, but I don't think potato really adds anything flavour-wise. Parsnip, on the other hand, is lovely so since I had some in the fridge I thought this would make a good soup.

Ingredients
3 large parsnips
1 leek
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
85g pearl barley
1 vegetable stock cube

* peel and chop the veg
* heat a little oil in a large pan and fry the onion and leek for a couple of minutes
* Add the parsnip and barley, cover with water (a couple of pints) and add the stock cube plus any herbs etc
* simmer for 45 minutes or until the veg is cooked and the barley softened.
