Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons canola oil (or safflower oil)
2 cups coarsely chopped onions (white and green parts) or 2 cups thinly sliced leeks (white and green parts)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 cups vegetable stock (you may use chicken for a nonvegetarian soup)
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (or quartered)
1/2 ounce dried mushroom, about 1/2 cup (porcini, or a mix)
2 large carrots, halved lengthwise
2 large celery ribs, diced
2 large bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons dill weed
salt
black pepper
additional vegetable stock (optional)

Steps:

  • In a 6 quart pressure cooker, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add vegetable stock, barley, fresh and dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, bay leaves, dillweed, salt, and pepper.
  • Lock lid into place; heat to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to just enough to maintain high pressure and cook 18 minutes. Let pressure drop naturally or use quick release method(See note). Remove lid, opening it away from you, to allow any remaining steam to escape.
  • (Or, if cooking on the stove top, simmer for about 2 hours, until desired consistency.).
  • Discard bay leaves from soup and add more dillweed, salt, and pepper to taste. Soup will thicken considerably on standing. Thin to desired consistency with additional vegetble stock, if desired.
  • Note* Some dried mushrooms must be soaked to remove sand and grit. In a small bowl, combine mushrooms and boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Cover and set aside until soft-15 to 30 minutes. Lift out soaked mushrooms, rinse carefully, and cut away any gritty sections. Strain the flavorful soaking liquid through cheesecloth or a coffee filter and use it in place of part of the vegetabvle broth called for in the recipe.
  • Note*Quick Release:.
  • If using an older model, set pressure cooker under cold running water, being careful not to run water over the pressure regulator, until no more st4am is released from under pressure regulator.Open lid away from you and allow any steam to escape. Alternatively, many new cookers have a stove-top release option. This method should be used with quick cooking foods that could become overcooked if allowed to stand under pressure.
  • Naturally:.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop on its own. This gentler method may take anywhere from 3 to 20 minutes and can produce better flavor and texture-but can also overcook some foods. When a recipe says to "let pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes", keep the lid in place for the required length of time, whther or not the pressure has already dropped, then release any remainign pressure using the quick release mehtod before removing the lid.

QUICKEST MUSHROOM-BARLEY SOUP



Quickest Mushroom-Barley Soup image

Categories     Mushroom     Low Sodium     Barley     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 1/2 cups low-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 cup quick-cooking barley
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add broth and the water to pan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer; add barley and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove soup from heat; stir in parsley and lemon juice. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan.
  • About Barley
  • Pearl barley and quick-cooking barley absorb water faster than regular hulled barley because their bran layers have been removed. The quick-cooking variety, however, has also been presteamed and takes only 10 minutes to cook-more than twice as fast as pearl barley.

  • Fat: 6.8g (2.4g Saturated Fat)
  • Protein: 15.1g
  • Carbohydrates: 48.7g
  • Fiber: 8.6g

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to develop their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized taste.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Add barley to the soup towards the end of the cooking time. Barley takes about 30 minutes to cook, so if you add it too early, it will become overcooked and mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Mushroom barley soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give mushroom barley soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
