MUSHROOM, BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP



Mushroom, Barley Vegetable Soup image

Is it Soup Yet? Remember that commercial? It was years ago and I think it was for Campbell's. My mom used to make a homemade mushroom and barley soup that I absolutely adored- chock full of veggies and flavor. And when she prepared it, the aromas wafting through the house always reminded me of that commercial, because I couldn't...

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 c uncooked barley
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion diced/chopped
4 medium carrots diced 1/2 inch
2 celery stalks diced 1/2 inch
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 tsp old bay seasoning
8 c liquid- i use 3 cans low sodium chicken broth plus water
3/4 c uncooked dried split peas
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
8 oz cremini or button mushrooms sliced

Steps:

  • 1. In medium size pot cook barley according to package directions (usually about 45 minutes). While barley is cooking, begin the soup prep.
  • 2. In large soup pot on low heat, add olive oil, chopped carrots, onions, celery, garlic and Old Bay Seasoning. Cover and sweat the veggies until soft (8 minutes or so) stirring occasionally. When vegetables are soft, add the chicken broth and water, bring to a boil and add split peas. Bring back to a boil, lower heat and low simmer covered for 45 minutes.
  • 3. Add salt, pepper and mushrooms and simmer another 20 minutes more. Add cooked barley, stir and serve. I like to top the soup with a slice of grilled, rosemary-infused Italian bread, but even store-bought croutons are great.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all great choices for this soup. They provide a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Add the barley towards the end of the cooking time: This will prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a bit of tang.

Conclusion:

This mushroom barley vegetable soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you have some extra vegetables on hand, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
