Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except the basil, to a crock pot. Ensure the liquid covers everything.
- Set the crock pot on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- The lentils, peas, and barley will absorb a lot of water, so you may need to add even more water half way through cooking.
- Top with a sprinkle of basil and some pepper and enjoy!
