Vegetable Stew Recipe

Guys this summer Vegetable Stew Recipe is so dang good. It’s really light, delicious, and healthy! I found barley for $0.77 a pound at the store the other day, so I got some and made this! Super simple, packed with veggies and fiber. Your family will love it 🙂

Main Ingredients

This Vegetable Stew Recipe requires just a few basic ingredients, when combined, create a medley of light and delicious flavors. Here’s what you need:

• Olive Oil, Onion, and Garlic – the holy trinity of soups! Simple ingredients that make a great base.
• Pearl Barley – this is where all of that healthy fiber comes in. You can find pearl barley near the rice and beans. If you can’t find it there, check the bulk section!
• Chicken Stock – or beef broth or vegetable broth if you want this to be a vegetarian meal.
• Bay Leaves, Basil, Thyme, Salt, and Pepper – seasonings galore! Season and taste as you go, then adjust as you like.
• Tomatoes, Zucchini, and Carrots – these are the three main vegetables in this stew. More on veggies below 🙂
• Parmesan Cheese – I like to grate some fresh parmesan cheese on top for a little bit more flavor, and because it looks pretty.

Can I Use Different Vegetables?
