My Favorite Soup

My Favorite Soup

Ingredients
 

  • 8 cups water, or 8 cups homemade veggie stock
  • 2 vegetable bouillon cubes (omit if using veggie stock)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse grind pepper
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 medium diced onion
  • 1/4 cup red lentils
  • 1/2 cup pearl barley
  • 2 cups dried mushrooms such as porcini, shiitake, morel, etc, or 3 cups fresh
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (kitchen shears does this job nicely)
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried yellow tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots (I prefer baby, but sliced works well also)
  • Assorted other veggies and spices to taste (you can also substitute any of the above to
  • suit your mood)

Preparation
 


Throw everything into a stock pot, bring
to a rapid boil, reduce heat and simmer
at least 20 minutes.


You can also stick
it in a crock pot and let it go all day.
My favorite way to serve this is with a
huge salad and some really crusty, warm,
fresh-from-the-oven sourdough bread.
