Hearty Tomato Barley Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup uncooked barley
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the finely chopped onions, celery stalks, carrots, minced garlic, and a generous amount of oil. Cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables have reached a state of near-tenderness.
2
Next, add water to the saucepan, along with fresh tomatoes, canned crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and barley. Season with black pepper to taste.

Stir the mixture thoroughly, then bring it to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and let cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the barley has become tender.
