Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups mushrooms -- sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 onion -- sliced

1 pound barley

1 bay leaf

8 cups vegetable stock -- ( or chicken)

1/4 cup miso -- bean paste

1 cup shiitake mushrooms -- fresh, julienned

4 scallions -- finely chopped

 

In a large saute pan, cook the mushrooms until they have released most of their

moisture but have not browned, about 5 minutes.

Puree the mushrooms in a food processor. In another saute pan, heat 1/2 the

olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and saute, until well

caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in the mushroom puree and cook for 3

minutes. In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil and add the barley.

Stir constantly until the barley is an even amber color. Add the barley and the

bay leaf to the onion mixture. Stir in the stock and cook at a low simmer for

45 minutes. Whisk in the miso paste, shiitake mushrooms, and chopped scallions

just prior to serving.

 

Makes 6 servings

 

NOTE:With just a few flavorful ingredients, you too can make a soup that the

diners of the Verbena Restaurant have come to

enjoy. Diane Forley

 

JENN'S LOWER FAT NOTE: To lower the fat from this recipe saute the onions and

the barley with no oil but use 2 tbsp of the stock in each the onions and 2 tbsp

in the barley. Follow the rest of the recipe.
