Instructions: Soak white and pinto beans overnight. Saute onion, mushrooms and carrot in 1 T of vegetable broth until tender. Add drained beans, vegetable bouillon, mustard and parsley, bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes. Add split peas, lentils and barley.

Cover and simmer another hour until all beans are tender. (Note: I like it spicy so I added lots of Tabasco and pepper). I know this is more of a "winter recipe" but I think it will be good cold, also. Things got a bit mushy in the crockpot so it might be better to cook on the stove.
