Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

2 medium onions, coarsely chopped

3 large carrots, sliced

500g sliced mushrooms (reduce this quantity if you add in other veggies)

1 sweet bell pepper, coarsely chopped

1 can whole potatoes, quartered (you can use real potatoes, but haven't gotten the cooking time down for those yet)

7-8 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup pearl barley

3/4 cup dry lentils (i used brown, but whatever you have on hand)

10 cups vegetable stock/broth

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon ground sage

1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

1 bay leaf

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and half of the minced garlic and cook until the onions are transluscent. Mix in the carrots and cook for around 5 minutes.

Add the barley and lentils and stir so they are coated with oil. Continue to cook (remember to stir frequently, so they don't stick to the bottom) for another 2-3 minutes.

Mix in the vegetable broth and seasoning (thyme, basil, sage, pepper and the bay leaf) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

Add the mushrooms, red pepper, potato and remaining garlic. Cover and continue cooking for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
