    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup pearl barley
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    4 onions chopped
    2 celery stalks chopped
    1 1/2 pounds mushrooms sliced
    4 cups low-sodium beef broth
    3 carrots sliced
    2 tablespoons tomato paste (no salt added)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    freshly ground black pepper to taste
    minced parsley

    Recipe



    1. In a large saucepan, stir the barley and 4 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the barley is partially cooked, about 30 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, heat the oil. Add the onions and celery; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring as needed, until the mushrooms begin to soften and release their liquid, about 5 minutes.

    3. Add the broth, carrots, tomato paste and barley with its liquid; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring as needed, until the barley and carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper; serve, garnished with the parsley.

    Serves 6.
