Instructions: Soak Beans and Barley overnight.

Cook in a crock-pot or on medium-low
heat with enough water to cover, plus about an inch.

Add remainder of ingredients except salt, and simmer until red beans are soft. Salt to taste.

I also like to chop a couple of carrots for color. Celery can also be added.

This becomes a thick soup. Very tasty. Season with your favorite herbs or spices. [Harold]
