I'm posting this in honor of one of my best friends mom's who first served this to me during high school...my second Jewish mother who always thought I should eat more. She used the Moosewood cookbook for many a fine dinner. Thanks Eileen!

I'm a vegetarian and I found this soup to be very satisfying. The barley and mushrooms gave it a nice meaty texture and the vegetables added a lot of flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is very time-consuming to make. It took me over two hours to make the soup, and that's not including the time it took to gather all of the ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt. Other than that, the soup was delicious.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the barley was a bit too chewy for my taste. I would not make this soup again.

This soup was a hit with my family! The barley gave it a nice hearty texture, and the mushrooms added a delicious earthy flavor. I also loved the addition of leeks and carrots, which added a nice sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this
