Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek EVOO)
16 oz baby bella mushrooms, cleaned well and halved or sliced
Kosher salt
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
8 oz white mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
½ cup canned crushed tomatoes
Black pepper
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp to ¾ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cumin
6 cups low-sodium broth (vegetable broth or beef broth)
1 cup pearl barley rinsed
½ cup packed chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch Oven, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add baby bell mushrooms and cook until mushrooms soften and gain some color (about 5 minutes or so). Remove from the pot and set aside for now.
  • In the same pot, add a little more extra virgin olive oil. Add onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and chopped white mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Now, add crushed tomatoes and spices (coriander, smoked paprika, cumin). Cook for 3 minutes or so, tossing regularly.
  • Add broth and pearl barley. Bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes, then turn heat down. Cover and let simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes or until the barley is tender and cooked through.
  • Add the cooked bella mushrooms back to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes or so until mushrooms are well warmed through.
  • Finish with fresh parsley. Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, leeks, and turnips.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to personalize your soup and make it your own. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaf, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Cook the barley separately from the vegetables. This will help to prevent the barley from becoming mushy. You can cook the barley in a pot of boiling water for about 30 minutes, or until it is tender.
  • Add the barley to the soup just before serving. This will help to keep the barley from overcooking.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
