- 1/2 cup pearl barley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 cups celery, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Recipe Tips
If using dried beans, soak them overnight or do a quick soak (boil for 2 minutes, then remove them from the heat and let soak for 1 hour).
