I try to make this soup as often as possible.I prepare all the ingredients before I start the pot.
1 whole onion diced
once onions become somewhat translucent add a bunch(1 or 2 tspn) of minced garlic
add a little pure water(1 cup) - let it cook a bit sprinkle in some sea salt -
add 1 or 2 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes -
a little more pure water (2 cups) -
add a half of a 16 oz. bag of baby carrots diced up (use the other half next Sunday) - add a 10 oz. bag of green beans -
add a 10 oz. bag of peas -
a bunch of pure water(2 cups)
stir in two 6 oz. can of tomato paste -
more pure water(2 cups)
drop in 3 vegan vegetable bouillon cubes
add 4 to 6 diced potatoes
Bring it all to a slow boil for as long as is "just right"! Maybe 2 to 3 1/2 hoursAbout 45 minutes before the finish add a fist full of barley(Optional)

Near finish add spices; oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil, tumeric, curry, paprika. Hey add in all these spices or whatever combo and amount you fancy. I throw them all in!!!
