In a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat, sauté onion, celery and carrot in olive oil until they begin to soften. 5-7 minutes.
2 tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 Large Onion, small dice, 3 Medium Carrots, small dice, 3 Small Ribs Celery, small dice
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
3 Medium Cloves Garlic, minced
Then add potatoes, barley, tomatoes, vegetable stock, red wine, thyme, bay leaves and some black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer with the lid on for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
1 Medium Potato, small dice, ¾ Cup Pearled Barley, 1 14.5 oz Can of Diced Tomatoes, 6 Cups Vegetable Stock, ¾ Cup Dry Red Wine, 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves, 3 Bay Leaves
After 45 minutes have elapsed turn the heat off and add the frozen peas. Then taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary.
½ Cup Frozen Peas, Salt and Pepper to Taste
Serve immediately or portion into airtight containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 1 month.

Cut all the vegetables the same size so they cook evenly. I recommend approximately ½” cubes.

If you don’t have carrots, celery or potato, use what you have! Butternut squash, mushrooms, zucchini or green beans would all be delicious.

If you don’t cook with alcohol, add ¾ cup more vegetable stock.
