Minestrone Soup with Black Beans & Barley

A yummy vegetarian bean and barley soup with little fat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Chop onion, garlic, carrot, celery and green pepper into small pieces.
  2. Add to a large pot (set on medium-low) and let cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to keep vegetables from sticking.
  3. After about 10 minutes, add chopped green summer squash and tomatoes and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.
  4. Add chicken stock, 2 cups of water, black beans, and half the spices to vegetable mix and continue cooking (uncovered) for about 20-25 minutes (until the vegetables are tender).
  5. Add barley, remaining spices and remaining water and continue simmering for 10-15 minutes or until cooked to your liking!

This is a great recipe. Try different beans if you don't like black beans. Resist the temptation to add noodles or meat, they are not needed and only add calories. The barley will keep you full all day. I'll say, the salt is needed, but if you cut that out, you can add soy sauce or hot sauce later to taste.
