This was a fun soup to make with all of the different beans and peas (13 different kinds – see Soup Mix) I made up the soup mix and gave the beans to family and friends with this recipe. Now you can buy soup mixes already made up but I still like to make up my own.
I first made this soup when I grew potatoes and leeks in my garden one year. Too many Colorado Potato Beetles (I tried not to use sprays and usually hand picked them off or got the eggs before they hatched). That was the last year I grew potatoes!

Everyone has a favorite Chicken Noodle Soup recipe and this is mine. Very basic, very simple but oh so good! This soup is tasty any time of the year when you could use some ‘comfort food.’ Carrots, celery and onions sauteed in oil just to soften.
A robust soup full of peas, barley and vegetables. A very good choice for lunch or a light dinner.
