Mushroom Barley Soup (Slow Cooker) image

One beef I have with crock pot recipes is sometimes the size of the crock pot isn't included with the recipe. I have an 7 qt. Kitchen Aide Crock Pot, so most recipes will fit into it. With this recipe, I noticed I only filled the crock with these ingredients to the 4 quart line. I got this recipe out of the Simple Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook. I noticed that the finished soup needed salt, but I don't add salt to my soups. I leave that up to the discretion of the person eating the soup. I used herbs from my garden that I grew and dried last fall. I used white button mushrooms in this soup. I sprinkled a little Romano cheese on top of my bowl of soup, which isn't vegan, but it surely tasted good and added a little extra flavour. I doubled the recipe because we love our soup!

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 6h15m

Yield 6-8 cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups vegetable stock
4 cups sliced mushrooms (fresh)
1/2 cup pearl barley
3 tablespoons dairy-free margarine
1 tablespoon fresh dill
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon

Steps:

  • Add the soup stock to your slow cooker and turn it on. If you're cooking this on low, 6 to 8 hours is perfect.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and set the crock and let it cook.
  • I always check the soup about 1/2 way through cooking as I've found at times the soups is done sooner then the time stated.
  • Bon Appetit.
