ITALIAN LENTIL AND BARLEY SOUP



Italian Lentil and Barley Soup image

This is a surprisingly filling, vegetarian, crock pot soup. It is very good, and easy to prepare the night before, or chop the veggies in advance and turn it on before you leave for work in the morning. Goes great with a crusty bread.

Time 13h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup lentils
1/3 cup pearl barley
1 cup carrot (chopped)
1 cup celery (chopped)
1 cup onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
3 1/2 cups broth
2 1/2 cups water
14 1/4 ounces regular stewed tomatoes or 14 1/4 ounces crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (optional)

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.
