🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 0.75 cup pearl barley
• 6 cups vegetable broth

• 1 whole bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

4. Add the sliced cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are slightly browned.

5. Stir in the pearl barley, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the barley from sticking to the bottom.

7. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
