Steps:
- In a large saucepan or stock pot, dissolve the onion soup mix in the water.
- Add each of the other ingredients and stir well.
- Bring to a boil and then turn down to low heat.
- Simmer covered for a minimum of 1 hour to allow barley to cook.
- Serve immediately. Great reheated as well.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper.
- Cook the barley until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked barley will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Season the soup to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices until the soup reaches your desired flavor. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more but you can't take it away.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Hearty vegetable barley soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
