MUSHROOM-BARLEY SOUP
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.

Steps:
- Soak porcini in 3 cups very hot water. Put olive oil in a medium saucepan and turn heat to high. Add shiitakes and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown. Add barley, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown; sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Remove the porcini from their soaking liquid, and reserve liquid. Sort through porcini and discard any hard bits.
- Add porcini to pot and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add bay leaf, mushroom soaking water and 3 cups additional water (or stock, if you prefer). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer; cook until barley is very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Add soy sauce, and taste. Add salt if necessary and plenty of pepper. Serve hot.

As I've said before, I LOVE mushrooms, so here is another great recipe using them. Make this with a variety of mushrooms,and hot paprika, or smoked paprika, very nice. This is from Marie on another recipe site. Mega suggested the following: "One thing I changed was to use an 8oz brick of low fat cream cheese instead of the milk and flour. " Give it a try!

Tips:
- Soak the barley overnight. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the barley more tender. If you don't have time to soak the barley overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it for 1 minute, then removing it from the heat and letting it sit for 30 minutes.
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give the soup more flavor and depth. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can make your own by simmering vegetables in water.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt to brighten up the flavors.
