Hot soup on a cold day is something I just can't get enough of. It's a snap to put together, and I don't have to wash pots and pans after a relaxing meal.
Ingredients:
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 small zucchini, halved and cut into 3/4-inch slices
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup quick-cooking barley
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
Directions:
1. In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 11 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
2. Cook barley according to package directions; stir into soup. Add beans; heat through. Yield: 6 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
