2bleu's Vegetable Barley Soup image

This is our vegan version of Recipe #390745. Barley is a wonderfully versatile cereal grain with a rich nutlike flavor and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. When the weather's cold, a big pot of soup simmering on the stove warms the heart as well as the hearth. In addition to its robust flavor, it's a very good source of fiber. If you can't find barley in your grocery store, you can purchase some of excellent quality pearl barley at www.nutsonline.com

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
