What better way to start the week than with a good soup full of seasonal vegetables? This Vegetable and Barely Soup is warm, comforting, and perfectly healthy!
Wash the celery, carrots, and potatoes. Cut the vegetables into cubes.
Peel and cut the onion and garlic.
Pour the barley, vegetables, onion, and garlic into a sauce pan. Drizzle in olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the bay leaf, tomato, and vegetable broth.
Bring soup to a boil. When the broth is boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
