The Barley Soup

This soup was modified from a recipe I found here: http://www.watchwhatueat.com/barley-soup/

Cory and K liked it.  Even T tried it and admitted it was good and asked for seconds.  Baby O ate 2 bowls as well.  Tastes a lot like chicken noodle; my kids thought the barley were round noodles.

1.  Heat 1 tbs coconut oil in a large pot.  Add 2 tbs minced garlic, 1 tsp ginger, and 1/2 finely chopped yellow onion.  Stir frequently about 2-3 minutes.

2.  Add 3 cups chicken stock, 5 cups water, 2 cups shredded carrots, 2-3 tomatoes, 1 celery stalk.  Bring to a boil and add 1 tbs thyme, 1/2 tbs ginger, 1 tbs better than bouillon, salt and pepper to taste.  Simmer for about 40 minutes.  Might need to add more water.

3.  Serve warm with a sleeve of Ritz crackers or warm bread.

Options: Add boiled and shredded chicken
