I know what you are thinking. Really? Mushroom Barley? Hold it, hold it. This is no ordinary Mushroom Barley Soup. This is Mushroom Barley Soup, done right. This is the kind of soup that will sit in my freezer all winter long, divided into small portions, so that Child A will be able to have some any time she wants, without having to wait too long for it to defrost. It’s the perfect Motza’ei Shabbos, Erev Shabbos, before supper is ready, once supper is done, after homework, before bedtime, Sunday lunch, anytime really kinda soul food. Yes. Now you understand.
Notes: Why the tomato sauce, you might ask? In the Butternut Squash Soup as well as in the Mushroom Barley Soup, I end by adding a can of tomato sauce. It’s a trick I learned from my mother-in-law (told you, grandmothers always know). Tomato sauce will add depth and acidity, taking the natural vegetable flavor to the max. This is a trick that will help you avoid using MSG-laden additives. Besides, it’s the Italian in me. We add tomato sauce to practically anything.

Our favorite soup!!
delicious!!! will be making it again iyh. definitely add in the tomato sauce.
Was delicious! (and I also pulsed the knob celery in the food processor instead of dicing, was just fine!)
hardy soup tasty and hardy soup. i found it to be more of a vegetable soup, than just a mushroom barley soup. i was hesitant to put in the tomato sauce, but in the end took the chance, and the flavoring is nice.
Great!
