Ingredients
- 2 onions
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup barley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (use more!)
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 10 cups water
- 2 carrots
Directions
Here is a good barley soup recipe. It's quite decadent, flavor wise,
though it's quite healthy for you.
In a large pot (mine isn't big enough, so I cut it down to one onion,
just less than a pound of mushrooms, 3/4 cup barley, and one carrot,
and 8 cups water), combine chopped onion(s), celery, garlic (I upped
it to four large cloves) and mushrooms. I added some water to this so
that the veggies wouldn't stick to the pot. Saute for about 4
minutes, and then add the barley, soy sauce, seasonings, and water.
Bring to a boil, and then simmer (I had it covered, though it's not
called for), for 2 to 3 hours. 45 minutes before it's done, add the
chopped carrots.
