Servings: persons

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 carrots, diced
1 zucchini, diced
3 small yellow squash, diced
4 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup pearl barley
2 tablespoons butter (optional)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrots 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini and yellow squash; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
2
Heat chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
3
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cook and stir barley into onion mixture until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour about 2 cups warm broth into barley mixture; reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until broth is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to absorb before each addition, until barley is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in carrot mixture, butter, and Parmesan cheese until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
