Mushroom and Barley Soup image

Provided by Mimi Sheraton

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 to 2 1/2 pieces first-cut beef flanken
Salt
1 1/2 to 2 quarts water
1 carrot, scraped and cut in half vertically
1 stalk celery with leaves
1 small onion, peeled
2-inch pieces of parsnip and/or petrouchka
1 root of Italian parsley, if available
1/2 small knob celery, peeled, if available
2 or 3 sprigs parsley
3 dried Polish mushroom caps, soaked
20 minutes in hot water
2 tablespoons well-washed medium pearl barley
White pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill and 2 large or 4 small old potatoes, peeled, cut in half if large, and boiled for garnishes

Steps:

  • Place the meat and a pinch of salt in a 3-to-4-quart soup pot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skim the foam from the surface, cover, reduce the heat and simmer gently for one hour.
  • Add the carrot, celery, onion, parsnip and/or parsley root, knob celery and parsley sprigs.
  • Remove the dried mushroom caps from their soaking liquid and chop coarsely. Add to the soup. If the soaking liquid is not sandy, add it to the soup.
  • Simmer for one hour, then add the barley. Simmer for 30 minutes to one hour more, or until the meat is very tender. If the soup thickens too much add a little boiling water as needed.
  • Remove the meat, trim off the fat and cut in chunks or spoonsize pieces. Return to the pot. Vegetables can be diced and returned to soup or eliminated, as you prefer.
  • Skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Season to taste and sprinkle in the dill if desired. Serve each portion of soup and meat with half a large (or 1 small) boiled potato.

MRS. KOSTYRA'S BEEF STOCK



Mrs. Kostyra's Beef Stock image

The secret to Martha's mom's beef stock recipe? Using marrow in addition to the meat and bones. It's the base for her Mushroom-Barley Soup.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes 10 to 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds beef with bones and marrow
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 parsnip, roughly chopped
1 dried bay leaf
1 onion, unpeeled and halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place meat and bones in a large stock pot. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer. Cook, skimming occasionally, until no more foam rises to the surface, about 1 hour. Add water if at any time the surface level drops below the bones. Remove any accumulated fat from the surface.
  • Add carrots, celery, parsnip, and bay leaf. Place onion halves directly on the trivet of a gas-stove burner over high heat or on a grill. Turn the onion with tongs as the onion becomes golden brown. If you do not have a gas stove, place the onion on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes golden brown. Add onion to stockpot. Continue to simmer until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, or a cheesecloth-lined strainer, into a large bowl. Discard the solids. Transfer the bowl to the ice-water bath, and let the stock cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer the stock to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, and up to overnight so the fat collects on the top and can be removed. Stock can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 4 months.

Tips for a Hearty and Flavorful Mushroom Barley Soup:

  • Utilize Dried Mushrooms for Intense Flavor: Soaking dried mushrooms in hot water enhances their umami-rich flavor, contributing depth and complexity to the soup.
  • Sauté Vegetables for a Flavorful Base: Before adding the mushrooms and barley, sauté onions, carrots, and celery in butter until softened. This step develops a flavorful base that complements the other ingredients.
  • Enhance Taste with Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves during the cooking process. These herbs infuse the soup with aromatic and earthy notes that elevate its overall flavor.
  • Choose the Right Barley: Opt for pearled barley, as it cooks faster than hulled barley and has a pleasant texture. Ensure the barley is rinsed thoroughly before adding it to the soup.
  • Simmer for Rich Flavor Development: Allow the soup to simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if desired. This extended simmering time allows the flavors to meld and deepen, resulting in a more satisfying and flavorful soup.

Conclusion:

Mushroom barley soup is a delectable and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a comforting meal or served as an appetizer. By following these tips and incorporating fresh ingredients, you can create a hearty and flavorful soup that will warm your body and soul.
