Krupnik (Polish Mushroom Barley Soup) image

This is my M-I-l's recipe for Mushroom Barley soup, which is made with dried "cepe" (aka porcini) mushrooms. Other dried mushrooms may be substituted....of course that will change the flavor of the soup. Making it with chicken stock or with a meat bone (instead of water), will give it a richer flavor.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -1 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (cepes)
13 cups water or 13 cups stock (or more)
2 small carrots (optional)
2 small turnips (optional)
2 small onions
2 medium potatoes (optional)
2 stalks celery & leaves (optional)
3/4 cup pearl barley
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak the cepes in a little water for 15 minutes, until they soften.
  • Chop all the vegetables finely in 2 batches in the food processor and put them in a pan with the barley and all the water (including the mushroom-soaking water).
  • Chop the softened mushrooms in the food processor, and add them to the pot.
  • Bring to the boil, remove the scum, season with plenty of salt and pepper, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the barley is very soft and plump.
  • The barley will thicken the soup.
  • Add water if necessary, to thin it.
  • Serve with sour cream, especially if the soup was made with water instead of broth.

Not bad, but I think it needs a little more salt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but mine turned out bland. Maybe next time I'll add more spices.
