Barley Lentil Soup

• 1 cup sliced onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 1 cup sliced celery
• 1 can stewed diced tomatoes
• 3 cups lowfat chicken broth
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup lentils
• 2/3 cup Western Trails barley
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• black pepper to taste

Spray a large soup pan vegetable oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat; saute the garlic and onion until they are golden brown, about 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the mixture is at a light simmer. Cook until the barley and lentils are tender, about 1-1 1/2 hour. Serve hot in a soup bowl.
