• Add the cooked bella mushrooms back to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes or so until mushrooms are well warmed through.
• Finish with fresh parsley. Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy!

HEALTHY DRIED MUSHROOM AND BARLEY SOUP

Steps:

• Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let soak until well hydrated and softened, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Roughly chop the porcini and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, cremini mushrooms if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender and mushrooms are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and the tomato paste to the pot, then continue to cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the flour and thyme evenly over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until flour is dissolved and no longer raw, about 1 minute. Stir in the barley, broth, reserved mushroom liquid and porcini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover slightly and cook until the barley is tender and the soup has thickened and reduced slightly, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and ladle into 4 bowls. Dollop with sour cream, sprinkle with parsley and serve with a slice of bread, for dipping.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil sizzles and shimmers. Add onion, garlic and carrots. Sauté until fragrant and onion is soft and tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and continue to sauté for about 3 minutes. You should notice the mushrooms start to brown a little.
• Add barley and water (add enough water to cover 4 inches above the ingredients in the pot, about 5-6 cups). Season the soup with vegetable stock powder, salt and pepper and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the barley from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Turn the heat down to low and cover. Simmer for 1 hour until the barley is soft and tripled in size. The barley should be soft but still chewy.
• Transfer sautéed vegetables to the bottom of the slow cooker. Add in water, barley, and seasoning (vegetable stock powder, salt and pepper). Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• Serve in a bowl and garnish with parsley.

VEGAN MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms: In a bowl, combine the porcini or other dried mushrooms and the 2 cups hot water. Set aside for 30 minutes to soak. With a slotted spoon, lift the mushrooms out of the bowl and transfer to a cutting board. Coarsely chop them. Strain the soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a paper towel to catch any grit and reserve.
• Prep the fresh mushrooms: Whip any dirt from the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems from all except the button mushrooms. Coarsely chop the large mushrooms and thinly slice the small mushrooms. Set aside.
• Cook the vegetables: In a large stock pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic, onion, celery, carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened. Add the mushrooms, stir well, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Add the potato and barley and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
• Add the liquids: Stir in the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, water, soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, half the parsley, and half the dill. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Partially cover and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the barley and potatoes are both tender. If the mixture seems too thick at any point, add more water, 1/2 cup at a time.
• Finish the soup: Add the spinach and stir well. Cover the pot and let the spinach wilt for 2 minutes. Stir the soup and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, soy sauce, or balsamic vinegar, if you like. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and dill. Ladle into bowls. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
