Susan's Notes:

I was looking for ways to fix barley, and found this delicious soup recipe on the back of the package. I dressed it up a little, so I have put my additions in parentheses, like this:
(2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, shredded)

 

Directions

1
Wash barley and drain. Add to stock in a large soup pot and cook over medium heat about 1 hour.
2
Add all other ingredients except mushrooms (and frozen vegetables), and continue cooking for about 20 minutes. Then add mushrooms (and frozen vegetables if desired). Cook over low heat another 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

This soup is very filling, and the flavor is amazing!
The secret is in the flavor of your stock. Be sure to use a great-tasting broth or stock. If your stock is strong, you may want to dilute it some with a cup or so of water, beer, or wine, as the addition of the vegetables and seasonings make this very flavorful, indeed.
