Instructions

  • Over medium heat, add olive oil to a 6- quart stockpot. Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute until tender but not browned. Add mushrooms and cook until just soft.
  • Add stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg, thyme, dill, parsley, and barley.
  • Simmer for 2 hours or until barley is tender.

Notes

Cut down the cooking time by soaking the barley for 2 hours before beginning the soup, then it need only simmer for about ½ hour. 
The soup may be made up to 2 days in advance, keep refrigerated. When reheating extra water or stock may be needed as soup may become too thick.
