Recipe
In a stockpot or Dutch oven, saute garlic, onions, sun-dried tomatoes
and bell pepper in olive oil until onions turn clear. (Do not brown.)
Add mushrooms and 2 cups water; bring to a full boil. Add wine;
cover, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
Add remaining 6 cups water, tomatoes, celery, carrots, green beans,
yellow squash, zucchini, mustard, bay leaves, pepper, salt, tomato
paste, dried basil, thyme, dill, oregano, barley, lentils, parsley
and fresh basil. Bring to a full boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer,
stirring often to prevent sticking, until vegetables are tender and
barley is fully cooked, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Taste; add salt or pepper
if desired. Remove bay leaves.
Yield: about 12 cups.
