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.

ROASTED MUSHROOM, ONION, AND GARLIC SOUP
A tasty mushroom soup made with no milk or cream. White beans are used to thicken, and roasting mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the oven add great flavor. It's a flexible recipe. You can use any combination of mushrooms that you'd like, and any kind of broth that you'd like. This recipe calls for pureeing the onions, garlic and a small amount of the mushrooms, leaving most of the mushroom quarters for the soup, but you can puree as many of the mushrooms as you'd like. I've tried it as written, and also with all of it pureed. I actually like it best all pureed - it's like a more traditional mushroom soup. Adapted from a recipe found online - the original also called for 3 cans of beans, half of which were pureed, and half were left whole for the soup.

Steps:
- Cut onions in half lengthwise and thinly slice into half moon shapes.
- Pour olive oil into a large pot and heat to one notch over low. Add onions and sprinkle them with salt. Cover and let onions sweat for 15 minutes. Give onions a quick stir, cover and let sweat for another 15 minutes.
- While onions are cooking, thinly slice your mushrooms, mince your garlic and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Get 4 ovenproof bowls and place face-down on the pie crust. Cut 4 large circles out of pie crust, about 1" bigger than the size of your bowl. They do NOT have to be perfect circles - they look more rustic if the edges are jagged.
- When onions are done sweating, uncover, turn heat to medium and brown slightly while stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic, sherry, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer for ½ hour or more.
- Remove bay leaf. Pour soup evenly into bowls and cover each bowl with a crust. The crust should not be touching the soup. Poke 1 small hole in the middle of each crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Crust should be just golden.
- Remove, and sprinkle each bowl evenly with Swiss cheese. Put back in the oven for about 3 minutes, until cheese has just melted.
- Serve immediately and let your guests cut into the crunchy crust with their spoons and the cheese will melt into the soup.

CREAMY MUSHROOM AND ROASTED ONION SOUP
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel one of the onions but leave it whole. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil and a pinch each of the salt and pepper over the onion, then wrap it in foil. Roast the onion until it is softened and lightly caramelized, about 1 hour. Remove and cool. 2. Meanwhile, peel and chop the remaining onion. 3. Heat a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped onion, carrot and celery and cook until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, shallots and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Reserve one mushroom to garnish the finished soup. 4. Stir in the wine, making sure to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the fresh thyme and bring the contents to a gentle simmer. Cook until the mushrooms soften, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock and continue to simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. 5. Remove from the heat and purée the soup with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender. Return the soup to low heat and stir in the cream. Season with a generous teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper, or to taste. This makes about 8 cups of soup. 6. Chop the roasted onion into pieces no larger than one-quarter inch. Stir the chopped onion into the soup. Check and adjust the seasoning if desired. 7. Slice the reserved mushroom into 8 very thin, lengthwise slices. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Garnish each portion with a thin shaving of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, one-fourth teaspoon of the chives and a thin slice of mushroom. Serve immediately.
ONION MUSHROOM SOUP WITH CHEESE CROUTES
Steps:
- In large pot, melt butter; cook onions, garlic, sugar, thyme and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Add sherry; cook, scraping up browned bits, until no liquid remains. Add broth and 1/2 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Meanwhile, sprinkle cheese over bread slices; broil on baking sheet until golden, about 3 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls; top with croutes. From Mom
Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give the soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from releasing their moisture and becoming soggy.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are golden brown. This will give them a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Use a good quality beef broth. This will make the soup more flavorful. You can also use chicken broth or vegetable broth, if you prefer.
- Add some fresh herbs to the soup. This will brighten up the flavor. Good options include thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth.
Conclusion:
Mushroom onion soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. Try adding different types of mushrooms, vegetables, or herbs to create a soup that is uniquely yours.
