Name: Mushroom Barley Soup
Ingredients: 2 1/2 c Sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 pound); 1/2 c Chopped onion; 3 tb Margarine; 1/4 c All-purpose flour; 2 c Water; 2 c Skim or low-fat milk; 14 1/2 oz Reduced sodium chicken broth (canned); 1/2 c Medium QUAKER Barley*; 3 tb Chopped parsley; OR... Parsley flakes; 1 tb Dry sherry (optional); 2 ts Worcestershire sauce; 1 ts Salt (optional); 1/8 ts Black pepper

Form the feeling of our own ignorance, vanity, poverty, infirmity, and – what is more – depravity and corruption, we recognize that the true light of wisdom, sound virtue, full abundance of every good, and purity of righteousness rest in the Lord alone. To this extent we are prompted by our own ills to contemplate the good things of God; and we cannot seriously aspire to Him before we begin to become displeased with ourselves… Accordingly, the knowledge of ourselves not only arouses us to seek God, but also, as it were, leads us by the hand to find Him.
