How about a Bowl of Soup
We’ve been eating wonderful, rich holiday meals for about 2 weeks now. And I think I’d like a slightly less grand meal for tonight. Soup is one of my favorite meals, and this is what we’re going to be having tonight.
Crockpot Bean, Barley & Sausage Soup
1 pound Kidney beans (or your favorite beans), dried
1 pound Smoked sausage, sliced
7 cups Water or stock
1 cup Barley
2 Garlic cloves, peeled & chopped
3 Bay leaves
Rinse beans, cover with cold water and soak overnight. Drain off water the next day. Put beans, barley and remaining ingredients into crockpot. Stir. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Remove bay leaves. Salt to taste when serving.
And I think I’ll get out the breadmaker and make a loaf of whole grain bread.
