Introduction

Fab-u-licious! Fab-u-licious!
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    2 Tbsp smart balance butter/margarine
    1 small onion, chopped
    2 carrots, peeled and diced
    1 stalk of celery, diced
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    20 oz. of mushrooms, chopped and sliced (1/2 white, 1/2 portabella)
    2 cups water
    4 cups broth (veggie, chicken, beef to your taste)
    1 cup pearled barley
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat butter and saute onions, carrots and celery for about five minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Continue to saute for 3-5 minutes. Add in water, broth (I used water and vegetarian boullion to create broth), and barley. Bring to a boil and then turn it down and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the barley is soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. (If you use boullion, skip the salt!)

Nutritional value is based on six one-cup+ sized servings. You can easily get eight servings from this.

    Excellent flavor. Only change I will make is to cut the barley down to 3/4 cup. Fantastic flavor! - 9/11/18

    This is fabulous! I added a handful of frozen peas and a dash of lite Soy Sauce for an extra "zing". Add 1/2 can of evap skim milk for a creamy consistency (adjust calories & nutrient content). - 7/16/11

    Incredible!
    This is one of our all-time favorite recipes! I'd never added garlic before, great idea! We used all broth, no water & definitely skipped the salt! Very flavorful, dh didn't even add pepper ;-) We used large white mushrooms and cut them in half and kept the onions chunky. The kids even loved it! - 4/9/11
