Also, hulled barley has both more protein & fibre)1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced4 stalks celery, chopped 4 medium carrots, chopped3 medium leeks, sliced (white and light green parts only)4 cups low-sodium beef broth1/4 cup soy sauce1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce8 cups water1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon cracked black pepperKosher salt and freshly ground pepper
