Method

  1. Soak the beans for several hours and set aside.
  2. In a large pot (the same one you'll make the soup in), sauté onion for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add carrots and zucchini; sauté 5 minutes more.
  4. Add mushrooms, and sauté until they release all their liquid.
  5. Add the water, barley, beans, spices, and stock (or soup mix).
  6. Cook for a few hours.

Notes

  • Mushrooms release a lot of liquid when cooking. You can add this liquid to the soup, as directed above, or boil it off to make more strongly flavored vegetables.
  • Cubed meat can be added to this soup.
