recipe: tomato barley stew

I have arrived at this recipe, which is my new favorite thing to eat this winter (and also my wife's, and when I served it on the 11th my guests asked for the recipe), after tweaking a recipe posted by vass. I will include notes inside about her version.

This recipe is vegan and relies on canned tomatoes for the broth, but because it includes both a legume and a whole grain, it is also protein complete. And deliciously filling.
