• Chop your onions finely.
• Peel the sweet potato and chop into small pieces. I like to keep my chopped sweet potato in a bowl of water until I need it because I think it keeps it from changing color.

• Then add the garlic and rosemary and stir for about a minute.
• Stir in the barley and stir until the barley is combined well.
• Add the stock and bring to a boil.
• Drain the sweet potatoes (if they were in water) and place into a large crockpot.
• Pour the boiling stock mixture over top and stir well.
