This main-dish-worthy soup features meaty mushrooms, savory veggies, and hunger-crushing barley. Nourishing and umami-loaded – perfect for the Blue Zones diet!
Mushrooms are naturally full of savory umami and bring deep, earthy flavors and textures to rustic soups. Mushrooms cook down quite a bit, so this soup starts off with a pot full!
High in fiber and rich in nutrients and minerals, barley packs some impressive health benefits, ranging from improved digestion to lower cholesterol levels and a healthier heart.
Sauté the aromatics.
Bloom the fragrant spices with the tomato paste.
Simmer the soup with the mushroom and barley.
Serve with a crusty baguette.
“I made this for my niece, who is a vegetarian. OMG! Not only did she love it, so did I. Full of flavor and quite filling with a hunk of crusty bread.”
