Glad you’re starting this again. I used to read granny’s threads pretty regularly. I just hope this doesn’t turn into another valiant but futile attempt to download every recipe off the Internet, though.

LOL, no. That’s why in the intro I said I wasn’t going to be posting a lot of recipes ;) I didn’t want anyone to get nervous about that.
But this one is for you then!
Lentil Barley Soup
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
6 cups water
28 oz tomatoes, cut up
3/4 cup pearl barley
6 bouillon cubes
3/4 cup lentils, rinsed
1/2 tsp rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup shredded swiss (opt)
In 4 quart Dutch oven, cook onion, celery, and garlic in butter till tender. Add water, undrained tomatoes, lentils, barley, bouillon cubes, rosemary, oregano, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 45 min. Add carrots and simmer for 15 minutes more or till just tender. Ladle into soup bowls and top with cheese.
I skipped the cheese and it was really good. I’m trying to put more barley into my food storage because I LOVE it! I bought some from Yoders, a local Amish store - SO cute! - and will mylar it shortly.
into another valiant but futile attempt to download every recipe off the Internet, though.
I am just laughing and laughing.
Thank you.
