In soup pot, add water and bouillon. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 15 mins.

Add carrots, rutabaga, celery, and onions. Simmer for 15 mins or until tender but not mushy.

Separately cook, rinse, drain, and cool the barley and alphabet pasta, set aside.

Once vegetables are tender, add tomatoes, peas, and green beans. Simmer for an additional 5 mins, stir in cornstarch and water.

Allow soup to thicken slightly then add barley and pasta.
