Delicious barley mushroom soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Who can resist the incredibly delicious aroma of mushrooms? Probably no one, so this soup will be a hit with everyone. You can use any mushrooms, preferably wild ones, as they are more aromatic. It's best to cook the barley in advance, so it's thoroughly tender in the finished soup. Don't forget to add your favorite spices—basil, rosemary, allspice, and bay leaf—as they make the soup's flavor richer. Serve hot in bowls and enjoy.
