Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Mushroom Barley Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a large soup pot and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion, diced carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Stir everything together and let it cook for about five minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 4
Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and continue cooking for another three minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and release their earthy flavor.
Step 5
Now itβs time to pour in the chicken broth and add the barley, stirring gently to combine.
Step 6
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, and once itβs bubbling away, reduce the heat to low.
Step 7
Cover the pot and let it simmer peacefully for 40 to 50 minutes, giving the barley time to become tender and soak up all those fantastic flavors.
Step 8
As you near the end of cooking, taste your soup and season it with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 9
This comforting bowl of goodness is now ready to warm your heart and satisfy your hunger! Enjoy every spoonful!.
