Ingredients

    large carrot chopped
    large onion chopped
    large potato chopped
    1/2 green pepper chopped
    medium cucumber, chopped
    2 stalks celery chopped
    1/2 cup lettuce leaves of any kind or color chopped
    3 fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon butter

    1 quart low sodium chicken broth
    1/4 teaspoon turmeric
    pinch of the following: basil, thyme, black pepper, parsley
    or any dried or fresh herbs you like

    1/4 cup barley
    1/4 cup lentils
    1/4 cup small pasta

Directions

Place the oil and butter in a large soup pot.
Add the chopped vegetables and saute for a few minutes.
Add the chicken broth and herbs.
Add the barley, pasta and lentils.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 to 60 minutes

You may puree the soup as the Irish do or leave it chunky.You can add a bit of milk to each serving if desired.

This is very versatile as you can add or omit items.

You could use rice in place of the pasta.

I've even used radish in place of the cucumber.
