  • Garlic
  • Pearled barley
  • Tomato paste
  • Low-sodium vegetable broth
  • Thyme

Instructions

  1. Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry. Slice half of the mushrooms and chop the rest.
  2. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add sliced and chopped mushrooms along with salt and pepper; cook for around 10 minutes until browned. Stir in minced garlic during the last minute.
