Ingredients

    4 Tbsp olive oil
    2 cans 28 oz diced tomatoes
    2 carrots, sliced
    3 -4 onions, sliced in long strips
    6 cups water (1 cup seperated)
    1 cup dry barley
    1 cube chicken boullion dissolved in 1 c water
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    1/2 c basil
    1 sprig fresh thyme

Tips

*We doubled this recipe and modified by adding barley (you could also use rice, bulgur or couscous) in step 2, cook 15 more minutes and add extra water as needed to accommodate grain absorption.


Directions

1. Put oil in pot, heat. Add onion and carrot, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook 3-5 min until softenened. Add tomato paster and lower heat while stirring for 1-2 mintues.
2. Strp the thyme from stem and add to pot along with tomatoes. Cook stirring occasionally (10-15 minutes) Add 2 cups of water or juice and bring to a boil, and finally adjust to a simmer. Let it cook 5 – 10 more minutes.
3. To make it smoother, puree half of the soup batch and re-combine with remainder (optional).
