½
Onion, finely chopped
1
Carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk
Celery, finely chopped
2 sprigs
Thyme, fresh

900 ml
1
Sweet potato, peeled, cubed

60 ml
Directions
Step 1
In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, carrot and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, barley and lentils and cook 1 minute.
Step 2
Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the thyme. Add the sweet potato. NOTE: You can transfer to a container or resealable plastic bag to freeze for later use.
Step 3
Cook over medium heat, covered, until the sweet potato and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and shaved Parmesan, if desired.
Tip: In a rush? Use frozen soup mix vegetables instead of chopping onion, carrots and celery. That are peeled, washed, chopped and ready to go.
