Ingredients
  • 1 cup pearl barley,
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil,
  • 1 onion, diced,
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced,
  • 1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced,
  • 6 cups vegetable broth,
  • 2 carrots, diced,
  • 2 celery stalks, diced,
  • Salt and pepper to taste,
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Barley

Rinse the pearl barley under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Mushrooms

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 10 minutes.

Combine Ingredients and Simmer

Add the pre-rinsed barley, diced carrots, and celery to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the barley is tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Finish and Serve

Once the barley is tender and the soup has thickened, adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
