Introduction

A thick, hearty tomato based vegetable soup with a huge variety of beany-goodness! PERFECT for making in bulk and freezing for later use. It's much cheaper and tastier than buying canned soup!

Ingredients

1/2 large white onion, diced

1/2 cup celery, diced

1 cup carrots, bias cut

*any other fresh vegetables desired, 1/2 cup each

1 tbsp EVOO

8 cups vegetable broth

1 cup barley, uncooked

4 cup 15 bean soup mix, dry (or any desired variety of dryed mixed beans) SOAKED AND RINSED!

1/3 cup tomato paste or petit diced tomatoes (I like to use both...)

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp thyme

2 large bay leaves, crushed

Directions

****NOTE***** When you buy the 15 bean soup mix.... MAKE SURE ITS NOT FLAVORED WITH SOME KIND OF ANIMAL STOCK! I found several that were flavored with chicken, etc. Just thought I'd note that so to be aware of vegetarian/vegan needs!******

Soak beans with a small amount of onion and minced garlic for several hours. Sautee veggies about 5 minutes. Combine Vegetable broth and everything else and dilute with water to desired thickness (maybe 1-2 cups). Simmer for several hours until beans and veggies are soft. Add seasoning to taste and eat up!
