* If using a slow cooker; place all ingredients, except for tomatoes and tomato paste into a large capacity crock pot. Stir to combine,and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or until barley and vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook on high for 10 to 20 minutes or until heated through.

To cook on the stove top; just follow the same method, allowing the soup to boil, then simmer gently until cooked to your liking. The sweet potato collapses as it cooks - acting as a thickening for the soup.
