Provided by dicentra

Categories     Vegetable

Time 6h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
2 cups tomato juice
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup pearl barley
3 cups sliced mushrooms
3/4 cup chopped carrot
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper
sour cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except salt, pepper and sour cream in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have a better flavor and texture than canned or dried mushrooms. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup: Sautéing the mushrooms in butter or olive oil will help to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized texture.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms: Don't be afraid to use a variety of mushrooms in your soup. This will give the soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked mushrooms can become tough and rubbery. Be sure to cook the soup just until the mushrooms are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Italian mushroom soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup that can be easily customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Italian mushroom soup a try!
