When the weather gets chilly, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a warm bowl of vegetarian Mushroom Barley Soup. And the good news about this mushroom barley soup recipe is that it’s ready in less than an hour with very little prep. As the barley becomes tender, it releases its starches, which act as a natural thickener. The result: a rich, substantial homemade barley mushroom soup brimming with carrots, onions, celery and herbs, that looks and tastes like it simmered on your stovetop for hours.

TIPS & TRICKS

For an even more substantial meal, make bread bowls by slicing the tops off sourdough or pretzel rolls and scooping out the insides. Fill the hollowed-out rolls with soup, and if you like, dice the scooped-out bread, toss with olive oil, and bake for a few minutes to make croutons to top your soup.
