I tinkered with a few recipes and came up with this one. I have tinkered with this recipe and added celery once and leeks another time, for me all it did was add to the chunkiness, not the flavor; but that's really up to your preference.

SLOW COOKER 5-MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP
This hearty version of an American classic soup is inspired by 'Chef Jakey' of the long-gone 'Steak Pub' in 1970's Monticello, NY. Long ago, I lived and worked in the upstate New York resort town of Monticello. As an electrical contractor, one of my clients was an upscale restaurant called 'The Steak Pub.' They had an Asian head chef named 'Jakey.' During winter months when business was slow, we spent hours doing electrical upgrades. Inevitably, we would be there at lunch time, and Jakey would invite us to his specialty, Mushroom Barley Soup, with hot sourdough. The addition of the cream of mushroom soup gives a creamier end result. Serve hot with sourdough or other fine bread, or garlic rounds.

CROCK POT BEEF BARLEY MUSHROOM SOUP
I copied this recipe from one of Gordon Ramsay's cookbooks. I really enjoyed this. I chopped the mushroom finely in my food processor as my DD will not eat mushroom unless they are pulverized and there are a lot of mushrooms in this recipe. You can do all the prep the night before, then just throw everything in the crockpot before going to work and come back to a nice batch of soup. Prep Time includes soaking of dehydrated mushrooms.

MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP (SLOW COOKER)
One beef I have with crock pot recipes is sometimes the size of the crock pot isn't included with the recipe. I have an 7 qt. Kitchen Aide Crock Pot, so most recipes will fit into it. With this recipe, I noticed I only filled the crock with these ingredients to the 4 quart line. I got this recipe out of the Simple Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook. I noticed that the finished soup needed salt, but I don't add salt to my soups. I leave that up to the discretion of the person eating the soup. I used herbs from my garden that I grew and dried last fall. I used white button mushrooms in this soup. I sprinkled a little Romano cheese on top of my bowl of soup, which isn't vegan, but it surely tasted good and added a little extra flavour. I doubled the recipe because we love our soup!

Steps:
- Add the soup stock to your slow cooker and turn it on. If you're cooking this on low, 6 to 8 hours is perfect.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and set the crock and let it cook.
- I always check the soup about 1/2 way through cooking as I've found at times the soups is done sooner then the time stated.
- Bon Appetit.

MUSHROOM ONION BARLEY SOUP
After tinkering with three different recipes, I came up with this warming rich, dark brown broth with hearty mushrooms, barley and onions. It's a beefy tasting soup for my meat loving husband, completely vegan for me and healthy for both of us. It can simmer all day in a crock pot or be served up right after preparation.

Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overcook the barley. Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked barley will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers. You can also top the soup with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon.
Conclusion:
Mushroom and barley soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup that can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give mushroom and barley soup a try.
