Vegetable Soup Recipe ⤑ Very Easy Mushroom Barley Soup

I love mushroom barley soup and I was originally making one that took about 3 hours to cook. This one is so simple and easy and takes a third of the time. If you like mushroom barley soup, you will really like this. It's perfect for a cold winter night.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• ¾ cup diced carrots
• ½ cup chopped celery
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
• 6 cups chicken broth
• ¾ cup barley
• salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic; cook and stir until onions are tender and transparent. Stir in mushrooms and continue to cook for a few minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and add barley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until barley is tender, about 50 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
