Dr. Weil's Barley and Vegetable Soup image

Barley is a frequently overlooked, yet super-healthy ingredient; high in fiber, low glycemic index. This is an easy, tasty soup with a wonderful texture. I've made it several times, shared it with the neighbors and everyone likes it. VERY easy prep in the food processor using the slicing blade. Mushroom-wise, any type will do; I like baby portobellos. Try a thicker slice on the mushrooms for a "meatier" texture. I got this recipe online from Dr. Weil's Healthy Kitchen at www.drweil.com
