"I came up with this recipe after I intended on making mushroom soup and realized I didn’t have any concentrated chicken or beef broth, So I scrounged around in the cupboard and found beef bouillon cubes from my MIL. Since we currently only have 3 peeps in our house, we have lots of leftovers. I suspect that after it sits in the refrigerator that the barley will absorb the broth and make what I refer to as Glop, LOL!. So you may want to add more water to the leftovers before reheating. Optional of course."

Fabulous soup! I've been wanting to make this for awhile but finally bought mushrooms. I did make a couple of minor tweaks - I was a little short on barley so included a small amount of kasha/buckwheat. I used red wine instead of sherry and didn't microwave the onions. Otherwise, I stuck closely to the recipe. And I did learn to use a big pot if you make a full recipe...I had to switch pots when I added all of the water!
