Food/Cooking

Since it got a little chilly this past week, I wanted to make a satisfying and delicious soup for the family. I made Bean, Barley and Pea Soup and it turned out great. Below are the ingredients. Try and let us know how you like it.

Ingredients:

2 cups of Bean, Barley and Pea (mix it all together)

2 - 32 oz Vegetable Broth

1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup carrot, chopped

1 cup bell pepper, chopper

1 tsp. dried basil

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1 cup tomatoes, chopped

1 large potato, peeled cut in little squares

salt and pepper to taste 

Wash the Beans, Barley and Peas then rinse and drain. Pour 4 cups of the vegetable broth into pot with the beans. In a separate pan, cook onion, celery, carrot, pepper, basil and garlic in olive oil until soft. Combine this mixture and remaining ingredients into the bean pot and cover with more broth. Simmer covered for about 1 hour to desired tenderness. Be sure to occasionally check liquid level and add more broth if necessary. Will make about 8 servings.
