I came up with this recipe after I couldn't find a minestrone recipe that I liked. This one is very simple and delicious, with ingredients that are easy to find. But the great thing about minestrone is that you can use whatever you have on hand. And because the main ingredients are vegetables and beans you can adjust the recipe to fit any dietary needs such as vegetarian or low-sodium.

Steps:
- Saute onion in oil until tender; add garlic, carrot and celery and continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add remaining ingredients (except the pasta) and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beans and barley are tender, adding more water as needed.
- Cook pasta separately and serve the soup over the pasta. This will preserve the integrity of the pasta if the leftover soup is to be frozen.
