Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium stalk celery, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley
  • 5 cups tomato juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
  • 2 cans (15 to 16 oz each) great northern or navy beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Stir in remaining ingredients except parsley. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until barley is tender. Stir in parsley.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Quick-cooking barley is a super time-saver--it cooks in less than half the time of regular barley. If Cajun or Creole seasoning isn't available, use 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
