INSTRUCTIONS
1. Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in 2 cups (at least) hot water to cover for a half hour. Strain through a filter. Reserve the water. (This gives the soup a lot of flavor so I used about 2 cups) 2. Coarsely chop the dried mushrooms. 3. Melt the butter in a stockpot and sauté the onion, celery, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, carrot, garlic, and fresh/canned mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. 4. Lower the heat and add the flour, stirring every 30 seconds for about 5 minutes or until thick. 5. In a soup pot heat the broth or water. Add a cup of mushroom mixture at a time to the pot, stirring. Then add the porcini strained mushrooms. 6. Turn the heat to high, and add the reserved mushroom water and barley. Stir well. 7. Simmer, covered, for about an hour or until the barley is tender and the soup is thickened, stirring often. 8. Add additional chopped parsley to taste, mix thoroughly, and adjust seasonings. (DIDN'T NEED ANY! parsley or seasonings). Recipe by: Barbra adapted from: Joan Nathan - Jewish Cooking in America Posted to MasterCook Digest by Gr8seeksM8@aol.com on Feb 21, 1998
