Lentil Barley Soup
Serves 8
This hearty soup is easy to assemble and cooks in a single pot. It is thick enough to be considered a stew, though you can add more water or stock if you want a thinner soup.
1 cup lentils, rinsed
1/2 cup hulled or pearled barley
6 cups water or vegetable stock
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, pressed or crushed
2 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
Place all the ingredients except salt into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 1 hour. Add salt to taste.
