We had this wonderful soup for dinner last night. I used homemade
vegetable stock and eliminated the oil in the original recipe. Next time I
might add a package of drained/pressed/cut up tofu in addition or in place
of 1 cup of mushrooms.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups vegetable stock
2 cups diced and peeled red potatoes
1 cup pearled barley
2 cups sliced onions
6 cups sliced domestic and wild mushrooms
(such as chanterelles)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
(The oil in the original recipe was deleted and the revised recipe tested.)
Serves 8.
A more elegant version of the soup uses wild mushrooms. Thin the soup with
more stock if desired.
In large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine stock, potatoes and
barley and bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes
until potatoes are soft. Transfer to large bowl, leaving 1/2 cup liquid in
pot.
Bring to simmer. Add onions and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add
mushrooms and garlic and cook 10 minutes until mushrooms exude moisture.
Return reserved barley-potato mixture to pot. Add basil and parsley and
bring to boil. Lower heat. Cover and cook 15 minutes until flavors blend.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
