    Classic recipe

    Black Barley and Portabella Mushroom Soup

    In this recipe, black barley and our Portabella Mushrooms combine to make a rich, filling soup. Precooking the black barley before adding it to the soup and rehydrating the mushrooms separately makes for a clearer broth.

    A simple, savory, satisfying soup made with meaty portabella mushrooms and hearty black barley.
