Cooking Soups Four-bean soup with barley

This hearty bean soup is filling enough to be a main course all on its own.

  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan over low heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and thyme, and cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes until onion is soft. Add the barley and stir to coat in the onion mixture. Add the vegetable stock and 1 litre (4 cups) water, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until barley is slightly tender.
  2. Add the beans and tomato, and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer and cook for a further 15 minutes or until barley is soft. Serve in bowls sprinkled with parsley.
