Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek EVOO)
16 oz baby bella mushrooms, cleaned well and halved or sliced
Kosher salt
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
8 oz white mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
½ cup canned crushed tomatoes
Black pepper
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp to ¾ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cumin
6 cups low-sodium broth (vegetable broth or beef broth)
1 cup pearl barley rinsed
½ cup packed chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch Oven, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add baby bell mushrooms and cook until mushrooms soften and gain some color (about 5 minutes or so). Remove from the pot and set aside for now.
  • In the same pot, add a little more extra virgin olive oil. Add onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and chopped white mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Now, add crushed tomatoes and spices (coriander, smoked paprika, cumin). Cook for 3 minutes or so, tossing regularly.
  • Add broth and pearl barley. Bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes, then turn heat down. Cover and let simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes or until the barley is tender and cooked through.
  • Add the cooked bella mushrooms back to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes or so until mushrooms are well warmed through.
  • Finish with fresh parsley. Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup)
3 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium carrots, finely diced
1 medium onion, diced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup pearl barley
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or mushroom broth
1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
4 slices hearty white or sourdough bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let soak until well hydrated and softened, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Roughly chop the porcini and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, cremini mushrooms if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender and mushrooms are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and the tomato paste to the pot, then continue to cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the flour and thyme evenly over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until flour is dissolved and no longer raw, about 1 minute. Stir in the barley, broth, reserved mushroom liquid and porcini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover slightly and cook until the barley is tender and the soup has thickened and reduced slightly, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and ladle into 4 bowls. Dollop with sour cream, sprinkle with parsley and serve with a slice of bread, for dipping.

MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Mushroom Barley Soup image

This is the soup that inspired the Campbell's "Mmm Good" campaign.

Provided by Dawn Lerman

Yield 8-10 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds beef bones
1 pound chuck, cubed
1 onion, quartered
4 celery stalks, sliced in half
4 carrots, sliced in half
1 bay leaf
Water to cover
64 ounces beef stock
Salt and pepper to taste
Beef from stock (see note)
1 large onion, quartered
8 celery stalks, diced
2 parsnips, diced
8 carrots, cut into rounds
1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1 cup pearl barley
1 pound fresh white button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 large bay leaves

Steps:

  • In a very large soup pot, combine all the stock ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for two hours. Strain the broth into another large pot. Save the meat, but discard the rest of the solids. If the stock in your new pot is greasy, let it cool for about 15 minutes and then place 6 ice cubes in the pot. The grease will immediately congeal and you can spoon out the ice cubes and grease in one fell swoop. Your homemade beef stock is ready.
  • Now it is time to make the soup. First, taste the stock and add salt and pepper to taste. Then add the onion, celery, parsnips, carrots, pearl barley, and sliced mushrooms. Bring to a boil and then add the tomato paste, bay leaves, and parsley. Simmer 30 minutes, until the barley is soft. Then add the saved beef and cook for another 45 minutes You might need to add a little water if too much liquid has evaporated.
