For the Soup:

1 celery rib, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry lentils
1/3 cup dry barley (may substitute with brown rice or other grain of choice)

How to Prepare Hearty Barley Lentil Soup With Potatoes [Vegan]

Add 2 Tbsp of water/broth to a heated large heavy-bottomed soup pot. When the liquid starts bubbling, add chopped onion, celery, and carrot along with minced garlic. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add more liquid if necessary to prevent the mixture sticking to the pot.
In a separate pot, bring your broth or water to a boil, set aside.
Add the rest of the ingredients (including spices, except for salt and pepper) to the soup pot, stir. Add boiling water/broth. Bring to a boil again, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft and lentils and barley are cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When done, take the soup pot off the heat, let stand 10-15 minutes to cool off. Serve with a garnish of chopped scallions or other greens. Enjoy!
