Cumin Seed, toasted and ground1-2 Scallions, mincedFresh Cilantro (optional to taste)Fresh Oregano (optional to taste)
Directions
This version makes about 4 large servings. I use a heavy, medium sized soup pot.

Saute in 1 tsp. canola oil, onion and jalapeno

Add the next 5 veggies and cover the pan using medium heat to steam for 5 minutes.

Add bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and broth and bring to a boil, then add barley and cover, reducing heat. For the next 20 minutes, keep an eye on your pot and add extra water or broth if it begins to look dry.

Add corn, beans, and spices and reduce to a simmer until barley is completely cooked.

Turn off the heat and add scallions and optional fresh herbs.

I have served with toppings of sour cream or vegan version, minced raw onions, baked tortilla chips, or over rice.
