The dish that I want to present to you is not at all new, it was known back in the USSR, or even before the revolution. Perhaps your grandmothers prepared it for you. It's full of nutrients, low-calorie, simple, and satisfying. If you are fasting or vegetarian, then this dish is perfect for you. And I'm talking about mushroom soup with barley.
All the ingredients from this dish are completely available, in addition, you can use any kind of mushrooms, and vegetables and pearl barley are available in every, even the smallest, store. Despite the fact that the soup takes a long time to cook, most of the time is spent on cooking, so about 20 minutes, well, 30 at most, are left for preparation.
This Barley Mushroom Soup can be made with both frozen and dried mushrooms, but I'll use fresh mushrooms in this recipe, as they're the ones I had on hand after going to the supermarket.
Kitchen appliances: plate.
You can take any mushrooms, I used boletus, you can take several types of mushrooms. You can choose the sizes of potatoes, carrots and onions, I take smaller ones so that the taste of barley and mushrooms is felt more, but not so small that the vegetables are completely lost.
Did you know? After cooking, you can let the soup stand for an hour to soak.
With this, our soup is ready. It is best served with sour cream, herbs and bread to your taste.
In the video below you can see how other housewives make this wonderful soup. In the first video, the principle of cooking mushrooms is slightly different, they are first boiled whole and then cut, but it seems to me that cutting hot mushrooms is not very pleasant.
The second video uses dry mushrooms instead of fresh ones. But the principle of cooking does not change. The only thing is that this method is very long, since the mushrooms still need to be soaked. Yes, and there are fewer vegetables, but the budget is small.
Both videos use different types of mushrooms, which will make the taste richer and more versatile, but personally I don’t see much difference.

Barley is one of those useful cereals that cleanse the body of toxins and are the prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It contains fiber, provitamin A and silicic acid, improves immunity, strengthens the cardiovascular system. It’s also not worth talking much about the benefits of mushrooms - everyone knows how much protein and vitamins they need for a person. That is why the frozen mushroom soup with barley, the recipe of which we offer, is an amazing combination of not only tasty, but also healthy products.
You can freeze any mushrooms - champignons, oyster mushrooms, forest porcini, or mushrooms, mushrooms, butter mushrooms and others. And cook from them even in winter soup, which is in no way inferior to cooked from fresh. For greater satiety and meat flavor, chicken broth is also used.
Advice: barley should be left in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pour boiling water for another 1 hour. Thanks to this, the cereal will be cleaned and steamed.
There are very few people who would not be driven crazy by the fragrant aroma of wild mushrooms! "Silent hunting" is the favorite entertainment of many townspeople and the vast majority of villagers. Fresh forest mushrooms are dried, salted and pickled. The technologies of the 20th century have added to these ancient methods of storage one more, perhaps the most common today - freezing!
After all, what a pleasure it is to get a bag of peeled, pre-boiled mushrooms in winter and fry them with potatoes ... or cook a fragrant thick soup that tastes big and small (although it is highly undesirable to give any mushrooms to children under 3 years old, after all, this heavy enough for digestion, and also a very allergenic product). But what about those who did not take care of the strategic stock of frozen mushrooms and aspen mushrooms in the summer?
Fortunately, in almost every store, the shelves are full of bright packages of frozen mushrooms, there are inexpensive cultivated mushrooms, and there are also royal porcini mushrooms. In any case, no matter what mushrooms you choose, before cooking, they must be completely thawed and rinsed very thoroughly with cold water, since spruce needles and withered foliage often come across in bags with wild mushrooms.
I prefer to buy mushroom mixtures: they also contain noble mushrooms that give taste and aroma, as well as simpler mushrooms for volume, which greatly reduces the cost of the entire purchase. Today's my recipe is very simple and unpretentious, but the soup is thick, rich and tasty.

The tradition of serving first courses has long been rooted in our usual cuisine, and many housewives consider dinner without soup to be incomplete. An excellent solution to diversify the diet can be mushroom soup, in which noodles, rice or pearl barley are added. The latter has many useful properties.
There is no need to boil the meat broth, as it can clog the taste of the dish. It is best to choose dry boletus or boletus (they are sold on the market all year round), soak in advance. They are soaked for 4-6 hours, and then boiled like regular broth. Then the soup will be more fragrant. If it is not possible to find dried ones, you can take fresh white or boletus.
It is not recommended to cook the broth on champignons or oyster mushrooms, since there will be practically no aroma left. If you don't have any other options, add at least a mushroom or vegetable flavored bouillon cube (if you don't mind spices). Pearl barley also needs to be poured with water for 3-4 hours in advance, so it is better to start cooking at least half a day before the expected dinner. You can cook it in advance, because then you have to fry it with onions.
If you want to make a rich dish, it is better to use several varieties of mushrooms. Dried ones are suitable for broth, noble white, boletus or boletus are useful for giving the soup a real taste and aroma, and inexpensive available champignons or oyster mushrooms will add volume. You can also put rare ones, for example, Chinese woody or shiitake, nigella, pigs. In addition, you will need vegetables: onions, carrots, potatoes.
This recipe is the simplest solution that requires minimal effort. You will need:
Mushrooms and barley should be soaked in advance for 4-5 hours. Then start cooking. Do this:
Avid mushroom pickers who harvest on their own often manage to freeze their own stocks for the winter. To prepare a rich fragrant dinner in winter or autumn, any variety is suitable, it turns out delicious even with mushrooms. You will need:
Cooking broth on frozen mushrooms is more difficult than on dried ones, so it makes sense to add a special seasoning or a bouillon cube. If you are against spices, limit yourself to black pepper. Do this:
If you don't know how to cook barley mushroom soup, start cooking with the simplest recipes. Oyster mushrooms are easy to buy at any store, and the dish will turn out to be very light. You will need:
Oyster mushrooms are very reduced in volume when cooked, and do not have a pronounced taste. Therefore, it is better to cook such a dish in chicken broth or with the addition of special spices. Do this:
If you have a pressure cooker or multicooker of a good company in your kitchen (for example, Redmond, Philips, Panasonic or Polaris), you will be able to cook a delicious dish much faster. A lean, nutritious barley soup that contains few calories will come out well. You will need the following ingredients:
Butter, mushrooms or white mushrooms have a bright taste, but if you use champignons or oyster mushrooms, additional spices will be required. You need to prepare like this:
The original recipe for mushroom soup with barley is somewhat reminiscent of pickle. However, this dish can be prepared in a very unusual way, to be sure to please family and guests. You will need:
Beef broth is best for pickle, but you can use chicken or pork. Prepare like this:
Barley mushroom soup will be a great solution for any lunch, because you can cook it from improvised products. A raw mushroom, for example, butterdish or honey agaric, will add a wonderful forest flavor to the dish, and large champignons or oyster mushrooms will add volume (they need to be chopped in advance). Additional ingredients will help to make food unusual every time.

Mushroom soup made from frozen mushrooms with barley is easy to cook, but it takes a lot of time to cook. However, only barley is “to blame” for this. So if it is cooked in advance - for example, when preparing it as a side dish for some dish, it turned out to be "surplus" - then everything will turn out much faster.
Soak the barley. Rinse pearl barley thoroughly, place in a spacious bowl, pour cold water 3-4 cm above the surface of the barley and leave to swell for several hours.
Weld barley. Rinse the swollen barley groats thoroughly, put them in a small saucepan, pour boiling water 2-3 cm above the groats, salt, stir, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover loosely with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water has completely evaporated.
Put the mushroom broth on to boil. When barley is almost ready, you can start cooking mushroom broth. Rinse frozen mushrooms, put in a three-liter saucepan, pour cold water 4-6 cm below the edge of the saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover loosely with a lid.
Fry barley with onions in butter. Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat, put a piece of butter in it and leave to melt. Peel the onion, cut into small cubes, pour into melted butter and fry until translucent. Put barley in a pan, mix with onions and fry for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Then cover the pan with a lid and remove from heat.
Add carrots to mushroom soup. Having finished cooking the frying, peel the carrots, cut into strips, pour into the soup, mix, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover loosely with a lid and let it boil for about 5 minutes.
Check the readiness of the potatoes. As soon as the potato slices are effortlessly kneaded with the back of a spoon against the side wall of the pan, you can continue.
Add fried barley with onions to the mushroom soup. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover loosely with a lid and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Taste the soup for salt, add salt if necessary, mix again, cover loosely with a lid, let it boil for another 2-3 minutes and remove the pan from the heat.
Mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms with barley is ready! Serving on the table, the soup can be seasoned with sour cream.
