Tomato Vegetable Soup

[Scuba]

This is a tomato based vegetable soup. You can use any type of vegetable you like. The secret is to cut them the same size. Normally I like to have green bell pepper and kidney beans in this soup. But since I didn't have those in the pantry I just went without. Also I had a cabbage that I needed to use so I chopped up half of it for the soup. Since I would normally add kidney beans to this soup, instead today I used some potatoes for the starch.

Ingredients:
Carrot
Celery
Onion
Potato
Cabbage
Tomato paste
Pearl Barley

1) Ingredients laid out
2) Ingredients washed, cut and ready to go
3) Preheat the pot with some vegetable oil and fry up the onion first
