Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    3.5 cups vegetable broth (like low-sodium preferred)
    3 cups water (more if you like it thin)
    1 cup white onion, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    0.5 cup celery, chopped
    2 cups mushrooms, sliced
    1 cup pearl barley
    1 tbsp dried rosemary
    1 tsp ground nutmeg


Tips

The barley will continue to take on moisture, and the soup will congeal. Thin out the soup with water when reheating.

Add different spices. Most everything works with this very simple soup base.


Directions

Chop all of the vegetables into small pieces. Put all ingredients into a large soup pot or crock pot and bring to a boil. Boil until barley is tender and plump and soup has reduced to a "hearty" consistancy. Add additional water to thin, if required. Serve immediately or freeze.
