I got the following off rec.food.recipes:

Autumn Wheat Berry Soup

1 cup great northern beans
1 cup wheat berries
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small head cabbage, chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sage
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp. rosemary
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1-14oz. can diced tomatoes
2 carrots, peeled and cut into cubes
3 cups vegetable stock
1/2 lb. cut green beans
4 cups water

Put wheat berries in a bowl and cover with water; soak for at least 8
hours or overnight. Drain wheat berries and set aside. In a large pot,
heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 4
to 5 minutes. Add garlic, sage and rosemary. Cook, stirring for about one
minute. Add reserved wheat berries, tomatoes, broth and water; bring to a
simmer. Cover and adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook wheat
berries until al dente, about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours. Add cabbage, carrots,
green beans, cauliflower and beans. Bring to a simmer, cover until
vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in parsley and season with
pepper.


Has anybody seen this recipe before? I think it sounds pretty good, but
there's some weirdness: Are the great northern beans supposed to soak at
all? Am I to believe that they'll cook through in 25-30 minutes when added
along with the other vegetables? Or is the recipe calling for a cup of
COOKED great northern beans? My guess is that the beans are supposed to soak
overnight and get drained, while the wheat berries are NOT supposed to soak.
Then the next day, the beans and wheat berries get cooked together for an
hour and a half.
