Barley Vegetable soup

My mother-in-law visited last week while my husband was out of town, so we got to eat whatever we wanted.  I made this soup, since there is no way that P would eat it, too many vegetables he doesn't like.  We ate it for four days and I wish I had more, I could eat it every day.

Ingredients:

1C chopped onion (1 large)
1/2C bias-sliced carrot (1 medium)
1/2C sliced celery (1 stalk)
2C sliced fresh mushrooms
1 15 oz can red beans, rinsed and drained
1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 10 oz package frozen whole kernel corn
1/2C regular barley
2tp dried Italian seasoning
1/4tp ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
5cups vegetable or chicken broth

Directions:
Put everything together in the crock pot and cook 8-10 hours on low, then enjoy!
