CELERY & SWEET POTATO SOUP W/BARLEY

Steps:

• 1. Drizzle oil into pot and set on STOVETOP HIGH. Heat oil for several minutes, then add celery & onion to pot. Cook them uncovered 10 minutes or until veggies are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Then stir in your minced garlic & cook uncovered 2 minutes, stirring often.
• 2. Stir in your potatoes, spices, tomatoes & barley. Set to SLOW COOK HIGH FOR 4 TO 5 hours. Cover pot and cook until the barley & potatoes are tender. (The recipe in cookbook states to cook 4 to 5 hours but my soup was perfectly cooked at 3 hours. When I reheated it the next day and cooked it for another 45 minutes it was more the consistency of a thick stew instead of soup. So, for me I like it better at 3 hours but it's all in how you prefer your soup. I would watch it after 3 hour mark and determine what you want to do.)
• 3. Serve up a bowl and sit down and enjoy. I served bacon wraps with this soup and they are so easy to make. Here is recipe. You can click on the link and it will take you to it. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/appetizer/meat-appetizer/bacon-wraps.html?p=27
