🧂 Ingredienti
- 1 cup Pearl barley(rinsed)
- 1 lb Mushrooms(sliced (fresh or a mix of fresh and dried))
- 1.5 cups Onion(chopped)
- 1 cup Carrots(chopped)
- 1 cup Celery stalks(chopped)
- 4-6 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 3 tbsp Butter or olive oil
- 3 quarts Vegetable stock or water
- 1/2 oz Dried mushrooms (optional)(for deeper flavor)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill or parsley(chopped, for garnish)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
If using dried mushrooms, soak them in hot water for about 20-30 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid (strain it to remove grit), and chop the rehydrated mushrooms.
- 2
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the fresh sliced mushrooms (and rehydrated mushrooms, if using) to the pot. Cook until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, about 5-8 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the vegetable stock (and reserved mushroom soaking liquid, if used). Add the rinsed pearl barley. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the barley is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in fresh chopped dill or parsley just before serving.
