Lentil, Barley and Sweet Potato Soup image

Even avowed meat eaters will tuck into a vegetarian soup that's this thick and hearty. Tip: If you're serving toddlers, spoon their soup into a blender and purée until smooth; thin with milk or water if needed. From Todays Parent Magazine. I always remove 1-2 cups of the soup, purree and return it to the pot.
