SLOW-COOKER VEGETABLE SOUP WITH BARLEY

Steps:

• In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, layer all ingredients except tomatoes; do not stir.

ITALIAN LENTIL AND BARLEY SOUP

Steps:

• Sort through lentils to remove debris and shriveled beans, then rinse.
• Add lentils to crock pot, along with barley, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, dried herbs and bay leaf.
• Pour in broth, water, and tomatoes.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 12 to 14 hours, or on high heat for 5 to 6 hours.
• Discard bay leaf and just before serving stir in parsley and vinegar. (If you don't use the vinegar, the soup might taste more bland as you're omitting a major contributor of flavor.).
• Lentils aren't like dried beans. They don't require soaking and cook pretty quickly when you do it right.
• When you buy your lentils, go somewhere that has a decent turnover so your lentils haven't been sitting on the shelf for years. Also, don't add any additional salt to the soup while it is cooking, and don't add lentils to already boiling water as either one can make lentils tough.

CROCK POT LENTIL VEGETABLE BARLEY SOUP RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• As with all crock pot recipes, this is a breeze to put together. Dice and layer all the veggies, and top with the grains, liquids and the spices (except the basil). The order I used was: onions and bell peppers, squash and carrots, lentils, peas, and barley, diced tomatoes and broth, salt, pepper, sugar, and finally the extra water. Set the crock pot on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. The lentils, peas, and barley will absorb a lot of water, so you may need to add even more extra (unless you like a nice thick soup like I do-then you will be very pleased when you arrive home from class!). Top with a sprinkle of basil and some pepper and enjoy!
