Chunky Veggie and Barley Soup (Crock Pot)

"This vegetable and barely soup is stuffed full of healthy and tasty veggies and it tastes great too. You can throw everything in the crockpot before you leave for work and have a warm, filling and healthy soup waiting for you and your hungry family. Perfect for those chilly fall and winter nights. If you wanted to keep things vegetarian you could easily use vegetable stock in place of chicken stock."

  1. I liked all the veggies in this soup. I thought that it was done cooking after 3-3 1/2 hours on low. I stopped cooking after this amount of time so the veggies didn't disintegrate. The soup kept some of the flavor of the herbes de provence and the leeks but it could have benefited from some form of salt to bring out the flavors. I used Swanson's new Chicken Stock so the soup needs more salt even over that to carry the barley and all the veggies. Overall, had the right amount of veggies to barley to liquid and is a good crockpot recipe to play with.
     
  2. This was the first Craze-E Contest recipe I made. I was slightly disappointed in the flavor & felt it was lacking, but I was very drawn to a veggie soup. The herbs de preovance were strangely out of place for me with nothing else to support them. I have decided the problem must have been the broth I used (purchased) as there wasn't much other than a watery flavor so I am assigning no stars. The only change I made was to sub 1/2 cup green beans for half of the corn. Thank you for your contest entry!
     
  3. This was such a tasty soup. It's hard to please everyone in my family, but everyone seemed to really like this wonderful soup, which is just packed with healthy vegetables. It has a very savory taste, and is such a no-fuss, no-muss dish. The perfect meal to warm up with in the evening on a cold, rainy day. Yummy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008. I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters. I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment. I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily. These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it. These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated: <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
