Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato

• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup water optional to make it a little less thick
• 2 packages Organic French Lentil Gluten Free Lower Sodium Soup

This Recipe Includes Right Foods Organic French Lentil Gluten Free Lower Sodium Soup

Instructions

1. Prepare barley by bringing 1 1/4 cup of water to a boil. Rinse the barley. Once the water is boiling add it in and cook for 15-20 minutes.
2. While the barley cooks peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. To make the sweet potato easier to cut and cook a bit quicker microwave for 2 minutes. Just be careful as it will be warm when you cut it.
3. Add the two packages of Right Foods French Lentil Soup, sweet potato and the leaves from the sprigs of thyme into a big pot.
4. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-10 minutes. Then reduce to a simmer.
5. The barley should be done cooking now and you can add it into the stew as well.
6. Let this cook for about 20-25 more minutes on a simmer. The barley and potatoes should be tender. If you prefer it to be a bit thinner you can add the water in it.
7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and enjoy.
