  2. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup pearl barley, 6 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
