Hey Everyone I made this recipe a few times now, and I LOVE it. It is such a "meaty" soup, that you don't even notice it is vegetarian!

1 Tbsp Crisco Vegetable Oil
2 Stalks Celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (approx 14 ounces) Sweet Potato, peeled and diced
1/2 cup Pearl Barley
1 1/4 cups Lentils
2 tsp Dried Oregano Leaves
2 tsp Dried Basil Leaves
1 Tbsp Dried Parsley Leaves
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
6 Cups Reduced Sodium Vegetable or Chicken Broth

Heat oil in large pot over medium. Add celery, onion, and garlic, and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until softened. Add sweet potato, barley, and all herbs. Stir to coat well. Add tomato paste and vinegar and stir to combine. Add all broth, and bring to a boil, Reduce heat; cover and simmer for approx 35 minutes, or until the grains and potato are tender.
