Very Easy Mushroom Barley Soup

SUBMITTED BY: SANDI149

"I love mushroom barley soup and I was originally making one that took about 3 hours to cook. This one is so simple and easy and takes a third of the time. If you like mushroom barley soup, you will really like this. It's perfect for a cold winter night."

Good, easy soup. The mushrooms didn't hold up well to freezing though. MORE
