recipe of the week!
SOUTHWESTERN THREE BEAN & BARLEY SOUP
With it being the holiday season and cold outside, I wanted to give a quick and easy prep meal… perfect for the #crockpot!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 large celery stalk, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 9 cups of water (if doing on stove; 2 cups if in crock pot)
- 4 cups chicken broth (vegetarian broth if wanting to keep it vegetarian)
- 1/2 cup pearl barley
- 1/3 cup dried black beans
- 1/3 cup dried great northern beans
- 1/3 cup dried kidney beans
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (you can adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
– If doing the crockpot option: Put all ingredients in 5-6 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook until the beans are tender. 4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low.
-If you are doing this on the stove: Saute onion, celery, and carrot about 5 minutes. Add water, broth, barley, all the beans, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Bring to a high simmer. Reduce to simmer, and cook. Stir occasionally until the beans are tender, 1 3/4 – 2 1/2 hours. If you want to change the consistency add more water to your preference.
