Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dry Barley
- 3 Cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 14.5 ounce fire roasted crushed tomatoes
- 15.5 ounce garbanzo beans
- 3 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 3 stalks celery
- 1 large white onion Diced
- 3 Cloves garlic Minced
- 1 Cup Diced Baby Bella Mushrooms
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 1 lemon Juiced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sea salt more or less depending on your tastes
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large stockpot on medium-high heat.
- Once heated add 1 tablespoon of veggie broth and the onions.
- Sauté the onions until they become translucent, approximately 7 minutes.
- Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic with another tablespoon of vegetable broth. Stir and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
- Continue adding veggie broth in 1 tablespoon increments while sautéing the vegetables so they don't stick to the pan.
- Add the garbanzo beans, barley, rosemary, Italian seasoning, crushed tomatoes and the rest of the vegetable broth to the stock pot.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then quickly reduce to a simmer.
- Cook for approximately 40 minutes, or until the barley is done. It should be firm and chewy, not mushy.
- Add the salt, pepper, and lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Remove the rosemary from the stock pot and serve!
