Beans and Grains
2 tb Vegetable oil 1 c Chopped onion 2 Garlic cloves, finely -chopped 6 Bacon slices 1 c Chopped celery 1 c Chopped carrots 2 c Beef stock 1 c Tomato juice 1 (14oz) can kidney beans, -drained 2 ts Basil 1/2 ts Oregano 1 c Barley 2 tb Chopped parsley salt and pepper to taste In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in vegetable oil. In a small frying pan, cook bacon, drain off fat and cut bacon into small pieces. (To save a step, I cut the bacon into bite size chunks first and then cook them in the same pot that the soup is going to be in. Gives it a bit more flavour. Just drain off excess fat.) To the saucepans,add bacon, celery, carrots, beef stock and tomato juice; cook until vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until barley is tender, about 20-30 minutes. Serves 6-8. Origin: Sharon Stevens Shared by: Sharon Stevens |
