Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1/2 cup raw pearl barley
6 1/2 cups stock or water
3 to 4 tbsp. tamari
3 to 4 tbsp. dry sherry
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1 heaping c. chopped onion
1 pound fresh mushrooms sliced
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cook barley in 1 1/2 cups stock or water until tender (cook it right in the soup kettle). Add remaining stock or water, tamari and sherry. In another pan, saute onions and garlic in butter. When onions and garlic have softened, add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
When all is tender, add saute mixture to barley, being sure to include the liquid given off by the vegetables as they've cooked. Give soup a generous grinding of fresh black pepper and simmer covered for 20 minutes over the lowest possible heat. Taste to correct seasoning.
