ITALIAN LENTIL AND BARLEY SOUP
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.

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.

CROCK POT LENTIL VEGETABLE BARLEY SOUP RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by DreiFromBK
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- As with all crock pot recipes, this is a breeze to put together. Dice and layer all the veggies, and top with the grains, liquids and the spices (except the basil). The order I used was: onions and bell peppers, squash and carrots, lentils, peas, and barley, diced tomatoes and broth, salt, pepper, sugar, and finally the extra water. Set the crock pot on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. The lentils, peas, and barley will absorb a lot of water, so you may need to add even more extra (unless you like a nice thick soup like I do-then you will be very pleased when you arrive home from class!). Top with a sprinkle of basil and some pepper and enjoy!

Steps:
- In large saucepan or soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic, carrot, celery, thyme, marjoram and pepper until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add stock, water, lentils and barley to the pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until barley and lentils are tender, about 40 minutes.
- Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
- To serve, top each serving with a dollop of yogurt. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of cumin, coriander, or thyme can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
- Add some protein to your soup. This could be in the form of lentils, beans, chicken, or beef. Adding protein will make your soup more filling and satisfying.
- Cook your soup on low heat for a long time. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. A slow cooker is a great way to do this.
- Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make your meal more complete.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot lentil vegetable barley soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a busy weeknight. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will love.
