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

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I used some broccoli, carrots, and potatoes that I had in my fridge.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I loved this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a strong flavor.

The vegetables in this soup are perfectly cooked. They're tender but still have a little bit of crunch.

The barley adds a nice chewy texture to the soup. It's also a good source of fiber and protein.
