MUSHROOM-BARLEY SOUP



Mushroom-Barley Soup image

Soup made without meat or meat broth can be insipid. That's why most people think pea soup needs ham and mushroom-barley soup needs beef. But it's possible to make a satisfying, even hearty, vegetarian soup if you choose your ingredients carefully and extract every bit of flavor from them. Enter this mushroom-barley soup, a vegetarian dish with real body, texture and depth of flavor. The key ingredient here is dried porcini, which can be reconstituted in hot water in less than 10 minutes, giving you the best-tasting mushrooms you can find outside the woods and an intensely flavored broth that rivals beef stock. Don't forget to toast the barley while really browning the mushrooms and carrots - it lends a deep warmth.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup)

3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 cup pearl barley
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP



Mushroom Barley Soup image

This soup is made with nourishing bone broth and root vegetables, creating a rich, aromatic and hearty meal that will keep you satisfied during the cold days of winter. It was my dad's favorite soup as a child. He remembers his mom instructing him on how to prepare it. "A bissel of this, a bissel of that," Bubbe would call out in her strong Yiddish accent, kvelling as she watched him sample the simmering ingredients.

Provided by Dawn Lerman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 pounds beef bones
1 pound chuck, cubed
1 onion, quartered
4 celery stalks, sliced in half
4 carrots, sliced in half
1 bay leaf
water to cover
8 cups beef stock (see tip)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large onion, quartered
8 celery stalks, diced
2 parsnips, diced
8 carrots, cut into rounds
1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1 cup pearl barley
1 pound fresh white button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 large bay leaves

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, combine all the stock ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the broth into another large pot. Save the meat, but discard the rest of the solids. If the stock in your new pot is greasy, let it cool for about 15 minutes and then place 6 ice cubes in the pot. The grease will immediately congeal and you can spoon out the ice cubes and grease in one fell swoop. Your homemade beef stock is ready.
  • Taste the stock and add salt and pepper to taste. Then add the onion, celery, parsnips, carrots, parsley, pearl barley and sliced mushrooms. Bring to a boil and then add the tomato paste and bay leaves. Simmer 30 minutes, until the barley is soft. Then add the saved beef and cook for another 45 minutes. You can add a little water if too much liquid has evaporated.

Provided by stingo

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups mushrooms, fresh and sliced
1/4 cup pearl barley
4 cups water
4 cups chicken broth or 4 cups vegetable broth
black pepper, to taste
1 pinch thyme
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Heat dutch oven or large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms and onions, cook until gold, about 3 minutes.
  • Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the barley is tender, about 1-1/2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use hearty, flavorful mushrooms. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all great choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many mushrooms at once, they will steam instead of sauté.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are browned. This will give them a richer flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. A homemade broth will give the soup the best flavor, but a store-bought broth will also work.
  • Add barley to the soup. Barley is a hearty grain that adds a chewy texture to the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot. Chunky mushroom barley soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Chunky mushroom barley soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of mushrooms, barley, and vegetables, this soup is a nutritious and delicious meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
