Some soups just feel like a warm hug. This is one of them. Navy beans and pearl barley simmered low and slow in a crockpot with sage and vegetable stock until everything turns thick and creamy.

The secret ingredient is liquid smoke. Just a splash gives this meatless soup that deep, smoky flavor you’d normally get from a ham hock.

Soak the beans overnight, toss everything in the slow cooker, and walk away. Four hours later you’ve got a pot of soup that’s filling, cheap, and tastes like it took way more effort than it did.

Kitchen Tips

  • Soak the beans overnight for even cooking. Skip this step and you’ll be waiting a lot longer.
  • Add the barley in the last hour so it stays chewy instead of dissolving into mush.
  • Liquid smoke is potent. Start with a small splash and taste before adding more.
  • This freezes beautifully. Portion it into containers for easy grab-and-go lunches.
