Creamy Mushroom Barley Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat to shimmering, then add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until aromatic and just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have given up most of their liquid and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the red wine and stock to deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the barley and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's tender, about 1 hour.
• Stir in the oat milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with dill and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic; cook and stir until onions are tender and transparent. Stir in mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and add barley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until barley is tender, about 50 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot and add carrots and mushrooms, stirring occasionally until they soften and begin to brown.
• Sprinkle mushrooms and carrots with flour, and cook for a minute or two to cook off the raw flour taste before adding the barley and cooking another 1-2 minutes.
• Add bay leaf, thyme, broth and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 20 to 30 minutes, until barley is very tender.
• Mix cornstarch with just enough cold water to dissolve it and add it to the pot along with the soy sauce and lots of black pepper. Taste and add salt, if needed. Remove bay leaf.
