Barley Lentil Soup

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Serves: 8


Ingredients
  • 1 cups sliced onion
  • 1 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cups carrots, sliced
  • 1 cups celery, sliced
  • 15 ounces can stewed diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups lowfat chicken broth
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cups dry lentils, rinsed
  • 1/2 cups scotch barley
  • 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoons black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
  • Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat; saute the garlic and onion until they are golden brown, about 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the mixture is at a light simmer. Cover and cook until the barley and lentils are tender, about one hour to an hour and a half. Serve hot.
  • Serving suggestion: This soup goes well with a large tossed salad and whole grain crusty bread.
