Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Melt a half stick of butter in a stock pot over low heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and sautee over medium heat until golden, around 5 to 8 minutes.
  3. Keep the lid on the pot except when stirring...
  4. Add the carrots, roughly another 4 or 5 minutes.
  5. Add the celery, 2 to 4 more minutes.
  6. When everything seems cooked down and soft...
  7. Add 4 cups of beef broth (or a fairly strong vegetable broth) and 3 bay leaves.
  8. Increase the heat to medium-high.
  9. Add the pre-soaked & pre-boiled barley (raw barley will simply take longer and require more broth as it will absorb some of it).
  10. Add the 3 cups of GOYA ham flavored concentrate.
  11. Add the 3 ounces of tomato paste and mix.
  12. Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Mix.
  13. Add the drained and rinsed can of kidney beans.
  14. Add the salt, pepper, and herbs. Adjust as needed.
  15. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a strong simmer for 20 minutes or so.
  16. Remove the Bay leaves. Serve with a garnish of chopped celery leaves, Italian parsley, or cilantro.
