Questions about Mushroom barley soup
How do you stop the barley going mushy in mushroom barley soup?
Simmer pearl barley in the soup until tender, usually about 25–35 minutes, and start checking near the 25-minute mark. For soup you plan to store, cook the barley separately and add it to each serving; it keeps absorbing broth as it sits.
Can you use dried mushrooms in mushroom barley soup?
Yes. Soak them in hot water for about 20 minutes, then strain the soaking liquid through a fine sieve or coffee filter to remove grit and add it to the broth for extra mushroom flavour.
How long does mushroom barley soup keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container and eat it within 3–4 days. The barley will thicken the soup, so stir in a little water or stock when reheating; heat until steaming throughout.
Can you freeze mushroom barley soup?
Yes, though the barley may soften and the soup may thicken after thawing. Freeze it in meal-sized portions, thaw in the fridge and reheat until steaming throughout, adding water or stock to loosen it.
What can you serve with mushroom barley soup?
Crusty bread or a slice of rye bread is an easy match; a sharp green salad balances the earthy mushrooms and hearty barley. Chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon just before serving brightens the broth.
Is mushroom barley soup gluten-free?
Usually not: barley contains gluten, even when it is pearl barley. For a gluten-free version, replace it with rice or quinoa and check that the stock and other packaged ingredients are also gluten-free.
How many calories are in a serving of mushroom barley soup?
A typical serving of about 244 g contains 73 kcal. The exact amount in a bowl depends on its size and how much mushroom, barley and added fat the recipe contains.
