Barley-Vegetable stew/porridge..taking it slow.

Slow cooker bought with great gusto! Now to try it out!
So I added a cup of barley and in went spring onions+ carrots+asparagus+mushrooms+cabbage+3cups water.Seasoned with salt+pepper+all seasoning mix.+2teaspoons butter.Cooked on low for 4hours.
Awesome if you are a soup/porridge kinda person.
Can substitute water with chicken stock/cream of mushroom soup/cream of celery soup.
Can add shredded meat too!
