17-BEAN AND BARLEY SOUP MIX



17-Bean and Barley Soup Mix image

Here's a Trader Joe's copycat recipe for their packaged '17-Bean and Barley Mix'. In addition, this soup recipe is printed on the back of the package. The only thing I changed was to use roasted tomatoes for standard (Recipe #464021). You have the option to substitute other beans or legumes of your choice. For example, I replaced the pinto beans with anasazi beans and tossed in a few adzuki beans for good luck. Most of the beans/legumes to prepare this recipe I have on hand in the pantry and those I don't I purchase in the bulk section at the natural food store. The beans/legumes are combined in a large bowl, stored in a container in the pantry; saving the rest for another time. I don't think sauteeing a few mushrooms and adding to the soup would hurt either. For the carnivores, throw in some meat: sausage, leftover chicken or turkey, etc. Makes a great hostess gift, too. The soup can also be prepared in a crock pot on LOW if you prefer.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 30

baby lima beans
black turtle beans
black-eyed peas
dark red kidney beans
garbanzo beans
great northern bean
green lentil
split peas
1 large lima beans
light red kidney beans
navy beans
pink beans
pinto beans
red lentil
1 small red beans
1 small white beans
yellow split peas
pearl barley
2 cups bean and soup mix
64 ounces vegetable broth (8 cups) or 64 ounces chicken broth (8 cups)
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced (I like to include the leaves for flavor)
1 cup carrot, sliced
1 cup bell pepper, diced (I used red)
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bay leaf (I keep fresh bay leaves in the freezer)
1 teaspoon salt-free Italian herb seasoning
15 ounces roasted tomato puree (diced or pureed) or 1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes (diced or pureed)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • BEAN-BARLEY SOUP MIX: In a bowl combine about 3 heaping tablespoons of each bean/legume. Stir then transfer to an airtight container. Measurement is estimated.
  • PREPPING BEANS FOR THE SOUP: For this recipe I used the quick soak method for prepping the beans/legumes. To do this, in a large stock pot cover the dried bean mixture with triple their volume of cold water.
  • Bring water to the boil, lower heat and cook the beans uncovered over moderate heat for 2 minutes.
  • Remove beans from the heat and set aside to soak for 1 hour. After one hour of soaking, drain the beans and place them back in the pot.
  • Overnight soak method: Place the beans in a pot and cover with water. The next morning, drain and rinse the beans and then continue with recipe in Step #6.
  • SOUP PREPARATION: Pour 4 cups of vegetable broth or chicken broth into the pot of beans.
  • In a separate saute pan, cook onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in olive oil until soft.
  • Combine this mixture along with the tomatoes in the pot of beans and cover with the remaining broth.
  • Cover and simmer approximately 1 hour or to desired tenderness.
  • Check the broth level periodically and add more broth if necessary so that the soup does not dry out. I left the soup thick but made sure to check that the soup was not drying out.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. I ended up adding 1/2 teaspoon of Annie's brand Worcestershire sauce to the soup.
  • If desired, a small amount of fresh parsley garnished each serving, as a suggestion.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also use a quick-soak method by boiling the beans for 2-3 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour before draining and rinsing.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Look for a ham that is smoked and has a deep red color.
  • Add vegetables to the soup. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
