Theres always a nice barley pottage, with whatever root veggies you want to 
add. Enrich it with onion soup, garlic broth, or whatever.

When I cooked a barley pottage for the volunteer setup crew at September 
Potrero War they were literally scraping the pot clean (it was offered in 
addition to a beef casserole and a chicken casserole).  I used barley, 
onions, onion soup mix (with NO meat products in it), thyme, and garlic.
