OK, I have to write something about this soup. Argh! Writer’s block! Let me have a spoonful and see if I get some inspiration. OH MY GOSH, that soup is good. What is that little extra something? Did Soupermom put cabbage in here?? So sweet and subtle. Is that papirka? Oh Soupermom, you’ve done it again. I literally feel my belly warming up. OK, stop it Soupergirl, you’ve got to focus. Write, darn it! Hey, maybe I should clean my bathroom. Great idea!…Maybe I should call my cousin in Baltimore and tell her about this soup. She should really love this soup. But we really email more than talk on the phone. That would be weird. Plus, how would she get the soup? But she should know about this crazy delicious mushroom barley soup that Soupermom made. Does she call my mom Aunt Soupermom? That’s funny. OK, an hour has gone by and you haven’t written a thing. Great. Maybe I’ll have some more soup. WOW, that’s good – people need to know about this!! I’ll try writing again tomorrow.
Ingredients (in no particular order): barley, mushroom, cabbage, paprika, thyme, sherry, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, homemade vegetable stock
Soup type: Chunky








Yummy and hearty. I added a dash of truffle salt and thought that it really brought out the flavors.
Barley is a favorite from my childhood. This combo of mushrooms and barley really hit the spot! It is a rich, satisfying bowl of soup.
Oh no! I went to click on the soup to see what the reviews were, and I accidentally clicked on the spoons (not knowing what they would do – my first time on the site!) and it gave the soup a rating of 2 spoons. Is there a way to erase that? I love love love mushroom barley soup, and I just wanted to see what others thought of it. I’m just joining the mailing list for soup, so please put it into rotation this fall/winter!
