Slow Cooker 5-Mushroom Barley Soup image

This hearty version of an American classic soup is inspired by 'Chef Jakey' of the long-gone 'Steak Pub' in 1970's Monticello, NY. Long ago, I lived and worked in the upstate New York resort town of Monticello. As an electrical contractor, one of my clients was an upscale restaurant called 'The Steak Pub.' They had an Asian head chef named 'Jakey.' During winter months when business was slow, we spent hours doing electrical upgrades. Inevitably, we would be there at lunch time, and Jakey would invite us to his specialty, Mushroom Barley Soup, with hot sourdough. The addition of the cream of mushroom soup gives a creamier end result. Serve hot with sourdough or other fine bread, or garlic rounds.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I like to add a little bit of extra garlic and thyme to give it a more robust flavor.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms, and they added a delicious earthy flavor. The barley gave the soup a nice chewy texture and the vegetables added a nice sweetness. I will definit
