Ingredients

  • 200 g Barley, husked

  • 300 g Potatoes, white

  • 2 piece Carrot, fresh

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 300 g Mushrooms, mushrooms, fresh

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 0.5 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 2 pinch Spices, mayonnaise, dried

  • 2 pinch Thyme, fresh

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, white

Steps

  1. Clean, peel, and wash the carrot, then cut it into cubes. Peel, wash, and dice the potato. Peel, wash, and finely chop the onion and garlic. Clean the mushrooms, quickly rinse them (wipe with a damp cloth), and slice them. Wash the parsley, shake it dry, and chop it.

  2. Place the pot with barley on the stove along with the liquid in which the barley was soaked. Add salt, wait for the water to boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer the barley slowly for 1 hour and 40 minutes. 20 minutes before the end of cooking, add the potatoes and carrots to the pot.

  3. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, place a pan with butter on the stove. Wait for it to melt, then quickly sauté the onion until translucent. Add the mushrooms, garlic, parsley, and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Add the mushroom mixture to the pot with barley and mix well. If the soup seems too thick, you can add a little more water. Season with salt and pepper and flavor with thyme and marjoram. Increase the heat and wait for it to boil, then immediately remove the soup from the heat. Taste and adjust the flavor if needed.

  5. Serve the soup in deep bowls with slices of homemade bread.
