Barley Vegetable Stew image

From Waupaca, Wisconsin, Barbara Lane shares the recipe for a hearty barley stew that's sure to take the edge off cool-weather days. "Sometime I substitute millet for the barley," she suggests. "I pre-toast it in a skillet over medium heat, just until it starts to pop. It adds a nice nutty flavor.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add some cooked rice or quinoa to make it even more hearty.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the meat from this recipe and it was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables to make up for the lack of meat.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and potatoes that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in the stew. It turned out great!
