Badger, Badger, Badger...
Inspired by the yummy looking mushroom and barley soup picture that we saw in the Penzeys One magazine (vol 3, iss 5, 2009, pg 50) that we acquired during a recent excursion to Penzeys, Bug created a delicious pot of soup.
Ingredients:
9 cups chicken broth
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 lb fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 carrots, chopped
6 shiitake, sliced
1 chicken breast, sliced
6 cups cabbage, chopped
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano, bay leaf, thyme blend
1/2 cup barley
Bug took about 2-1/2 hours to prep and cook. The barley was made separately and set aside, so it could be added to each bowl before serving.
The soup was clear, but well-seasoned with a pronounced chicken, shiitake, celery, and herbal flavor. There was no greasiness, which made me extremely happy. The soup was l-o-a-d-e-d with mushrooms, mushrooms!
...but no snakes!
