Recipe View Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the barley to become tender. (Cook time: 1 hour)

For a richer flavor, use homemade beef stock. You can also substitute vegetable stock for a vegetarian option.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, for a more complex flavor profile.
A splash of dry sherry or red wine added during the last 15 minutes of cooking can elevate the soup's flavor.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
