Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces Mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 8 cups Gluten-free vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free barley or brown rice
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and their liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated.
Add the vegetable broth, gluten-free barley or brown rice, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the grains are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
