Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  2. 1 medium onion, small dice
  3. 2 celery ribs, small dice
  4. ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
  5. ½ lb cremini mushrooms, sliced thin
  6. ½ lb shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin
  7. 1½ tablespoons unsalted organic butter
  8. ¾ cup pearled barley (you can substitute with millet, amaranth, or quinoa to make it gluten free)
  9. 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  10. 1 teaspoon pepper
  11. 5 cups of water or home made vegetable broth
  12. ½ bunch chives, sliced thin for garnish
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a medium soup pot. Add the onion and celery. Cook on low heat until lightly brown, about 5 minutes
  2. Add the thyme, stir well. Raise the heat to medium high and add the cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Avoid stirring until mushrooms have reduced in volume by half
  3. Add butter pearled barley salt and pepper, stirring until butter is melted. Pour the 5 cups of water into the pot, cover and bring to a boil. Lower the flame and simmer 45-50 minutes or until ready and thickened
  4. Adjust seasonings if needed, ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chives
Notes
  1. I love this recipe on a cold day (really any day) with its earthy flavors and light texture. The onions, mushrooms and barley all contain anti-inflammatory properties.
