necessary. Cook 20 minutes more or until the barley is done. Strain and
save the water. Add the remaining stock, the carrots, and the turnip to the
soup pot, bring to a low boil, and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. While the
vegetables are cooking, process half of the black and garbanzo beans into a

the processor and process with the bean puree until the whole mixture is
pureed. Return the puree to the soup pan, add the remaining beans, the
tomatoes, and the other ingredients, except salt, minced parsley and
yogurt. Continue to cook the soup on low simmer until the flavors are
blended, about 30 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary.
