1 (14 1/2 oz) Can diced tomatoes with juice
1 Zucchini, chopped
1 (15 oz) Can garbanzo beans, drained

Pour the vegetable broth into a large pot. Add the barley, carrots, celery, tomatoes, zucchini, garbanzo beans, onion, and bay leaves. Season with garlic powder, sugar, salt, pepper, parsley, curry powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 90 minutes.
