• Add the mushrooms and the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes.

• Return to the heat and add any salt if you think it is needed (I didn't need it) and just heat through again to serve.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium low heat. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tarragon and nutmeg and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in mushrooms, cover pot and let vegetable mixture steam for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms exude their moisture.
• Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in broth, stirring and scraping any flour that may have clung to the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir together sour cream and milk until smooth, whisk into the mushroom mixture and return to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and cayenne or Tabasco, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Put the pearl barley in a pan with 3 cups cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes, checking on it often to make sure it doesn't boil dry.
• Meanwhile, chop the rest of the veggies, including the garlic.
• Drain the pearl barley, rinse and drain again.
• Put the pearl barley, veggies, garlic and chicken stock in a pan, cover and simmer for 30 minutes until all the veggies are softened.
• Blend the soup well until it is of a smooth consistency.
• This makes quite a thick soup- I like to add milk after blending but you could simply increase the amount of stock you use.
