MUSHROOM BARLEY AND COLLARDS SOUP
This is a recipe I found when DH kept hounding me for a mushroom soup one winter! It is a great way to get some greens and whole grains in, even in the winter if you use frozen greens. I'm sure any could sub for the collards, and you could vary the taste (ie make it zippier with mustard greens, etc.). I hope you enjoy it!

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.
