Ingredients

1 tsp
vegetable oil
5 mL
½
onion, finely chopped
1
carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk
celery, finely chopped
2 sprigs
fresh thyme
1
bay leaf
½ cup
pearl barley
125 mL
1 carton
sodium-reduced chicken broth
900 mL
1
sweet potato, peeled and cubed
¼ cup
dry lentils
60 mL

Directions

Step 1

In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, carrot and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 min. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf and barley, and cook 1 min.

Step 2

Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer for 15 min. Remove the thyme. Let the broth cool completely. Add the sweet potato and lentils. NOTE: You can transfer to a container or resealable plastic bag to freeze for later use at this point.

Step 3

Cook over medium heat, covered, until the sweet potato and lentils are tender, about 20 min. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and shaved Parmesan, if desired.
