Savory Creamy Mushroom Barley Soup
Remember: Add Soup Base to Taste!
Our savory Creamy Mushroom Barley Soup packs a ton of flavor and warms the soul on a cold day.
If you are in a rush, in a large soup pot, add 8 cups cold water and stir in contents of bag. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmer, stirring frequently. Cook until the flavors are thoroughly combined, at least 30 minutes. At this point, add 1/3 cup heavy cream, stir in gently. You can also add 1/4-1/2 cup sherry. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired
*ADD milk or water if too thick!
If you have time, roast 2-6 heads of choice organic garlic - oven 350F for 45-75 minutes. Through the simple alchemy of a hot oven, garlic starts off raw and crunchy and astringent, and it emerges soft and caramelized with a gentler flavor that borders on sweetness. #yummy
Then, follow above soup cooking instructions. We recommend spooning the fresh soft garlic flesh into your finished soup! 3 heads for soup... or to your satisfying taste...
When plating soup, lightly top with fresh thyme and parsley. Add 1 tablespoon sour cream if your soup is too hot! Your guests will love your for this thoughtful touch!
Pick up some crusty bread or baguettes from the bread section. Cut and spread garlic on bread. Add to soup dish as you plate for guests. You and your guests will love dipping into this into your #2die4GourmetSoup!
