This Week’s Recipe: Hearty Mushroom Barley Soup
Inspiration: So, on a random Saturday, we were driving randomly around and spotted a new cash & carry grocery store and decided to check it out. Inside we found all kinds of nummy treasures! One of which was a very reasonably priced and nice looking three-pound carton of mushrooms. Upon arriving home, I realized I now needed to figure out what to do with them all…
Hence, soup!
Perusing my cookbooks and the internet, I discovered this recipe!
Unsurprisingly, I did make a few alterations to the original recipe by adding an extra pound of mushrooms (because they are delicious), a couple of bay leaves, two small sprigs of tarragon, soy sauce (for the salt) and lots of pepper! And it turned out great!
Next time I may add some finely diced dried mushrooms for some extra flavor.
Christie: Honestly, I can see any of Christie’s character’s whipping this up or ordering it at a restaurant to feel all warm, toasty, and lovely inside on a fall or winter’s day!
