This stew is very easy to make and full of flavors. With simple ingredients like beans, chickpeas, barley, and lentils, it’s perfect for a warm, nourishing meal any day of the week.
Sauté 2 chopped onions and 3.5 ounces chopped bacon in 3.5 tablespoons olive oil until golden. Pour in 4 cups water and 2 cups chicken broth. Add 1 pound small yellow beans soaked overnight, 7 ounces soaked chickpeas, and 1 pound barley. After 20 minutes, add 1 pound lentils. Season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer gently. When the soup becomes thinner and clearer, and the barley and lentils are soft, drizzle with 3.5 tablespoons olive oil and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
