BEEF BARLEY SOUP WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES



Beef Barley Soup with Roasted Vegetables image

The beauty of this soup is that you can roast the vegetables separately in the oven while it's simmering away. Then simply add them in during the last minutes on the stovetop. I love that the roasted vegetables keep their own bright flavors that add to this earthy bowl of warmth. -Gayla Scott, West Jefferson, North Carolina

This recipe is a variation on the 'Big Batch Vegetable Soup' recipe from marthastewart.com. It is both colorful and healthy, and makes a large batch that can be frozen for enjoyment at a later time. Makes approx. 8 (2 cup) servings. Note: If desired, you may substitute barley with rice, or perhaps a small pasta such as alphabets, orzo, or ditalini. Veggies may be fresh, frozen, canned (rinsed and drained), or a mixture of each to save time/money.
