Introduction

From the Fix It & Forget It book. Makes a really big batch, just barely fits into my crock pot. Serve with grated cheese if you like. I like the recipe because it has kale, and it replaces pasta with more nutritious barley. Quick to put together and tastes better on day 2. From the Fix It & Forget It book.

Ingredients

6 cups vegetable broth

2 carrots, chopped

2 large onions, chopped

3 celery ribs, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 small zucchini, cubed

1 handful fresh kale, chopped

1/2 cup barley (dry)

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas or white kidney beans, drained

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 (28 ounce) can crushed Italian tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

grated cheese (garnish - optional)

Directions

Chop all the veg into nice small bite sized pieces. Add everything to the crock pot and stir well. Leave to cook on low for about 8 hours. Haven't tried it on high, but surely you could shorten the time by cooking on high. Adjust the seasoning to your taste (salt will very much depend on your broth - the original recipe calls for a full tsp of salt).
