Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Dry Barley
  • 3 Cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 14.5 ounce Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
  • 15.5 ounce Garbanzo Beans
  • 3 Medium Carrots peeled and diced
  • 3 Stalks Celery
  • 1 Large White Onion Diced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Cup Diced Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 3 Sprigs Rosemary
  • 1 Lemon Juiced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt more or less depending on your tastes
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large stockpot on medium-high heat.
  • Once heated add 1 tablespoon of veggie broth and the onions.
  • Sauté the onions until they become translucent, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic with another tablespoon of vegetable broth. Stir and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Continue adding veggie broth in 1 tablespoon increments while sautéing the vegetables so they don't stick to the pan. 
  • Add the garbanzo beans, barley, rosemary, Italian seasoning, crushed tomatoes and the rest of the vegetable broth to the stock pot.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then quickly reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook for approximately 40 minutes, or until the barley is done. It should be firm and chewy, not mushy. 
  • Add the salt, pepper, and lemon juice and stir to combine. 
  • Remove the rosemary from the stock pot and serve!
