1 lb Kidney beans, dry
1 pk Smoked Polish sausage,sliced
7 c Water
1 c Barley
2 Garlic cloves; peeled
3 Bay leaves

Put rinsed beans in large saucepan. Add water, cover
and let stand overnight.

Drain off water the next day. Put beans, barley and
remaining ingredients into crockpot. Stir. Cover and
cook on high for 4 hours. Remove bay leaves. Salt to
taste when serving.

Sylvia's comments: I nuked the beans to fast-soak
them, and it worked great. Even the kids liked this
one! I used a fine-ground wurst instead of Polish
sausage and cut it into bite-sized pieces before
cooking. I also added some powdered beef stock to the
water for cooking. Then I packed the soup into empty
jars to take to work. It reheats great! Also worked
well for a quick supper for the kids. Definitely a
keeper. I might add some chopped browned onions next
time, though.
