    Title: Delicatessen Mushroom & Barley Soup
    Categories: Soups, Mushrooms, Grains, Herbs
    Yield: 7 Servings

    2 tb Dried porcini mushrooms
    2 tb Margarine or butter *
    1 lg Onion; thin sliced
    2 Ribs celery w/leaves; diced
    1/4 c Parsley
    1 Carrot; peeled, sliced
    3 cl Garlic; chopped
    1 lb Fresh porcini or other
    - mushrooms
    1 tb Flour
    2 qt Beef broth or water
    1 c Whole barley
    2 ts Salt

    * If using beef broth use the margarine. If using water
    then the butter is permissible. If not keeping Kosher --
    use whichever. But, butter tastes better.

    Soak the mushrooms in enough hot water to cover for a
    half hour. Strain through a filter. Reserve the water.
    Coarsely chop the dried mushrooms. Melt the margarine
    in a stockpot and saute the onion, celery, 2 tbs of the
    parsley, carrot, garlic, and fresh mushrooms until soft,
    about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the flour,
    stirring every 30 seconds for about 5 minutes or until
    thick. In a soup pot heat the broth or water. Add a cup
    of mushroom mixture at a time to the pot, stirring.
    Turn the heat to high, and add the reserved mushroom
    water and barley. Stir well and add salt to taste.

    Simmer, covered, for about an hour or until the barley
    is tender and the soup is thickened, stirring often.
    Add additional chopped parsley, mix thoroughly, and
    adjust seasonings.

    Yield: 6 to 8 servings
