Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup navy beans or white kidney beans (soaked overnight or quick soak method, see notes below)
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup pot barley
  • 10 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • salt + pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Peel and quarter your onion and peel your carrots. Add them to a food processor and process until finely chopped. If you do not have a food processor, you may finely chop by hand. Then transfer them to a large pot.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except the spinach to the same pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer with the lid on, but slightly askew for 30-40 minutes until the barley and beans are tender.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. The spinach will wilt quickly and then serve.
