Creamy Mushroom Barley Soup
from Campbell's Kitchen
Prep Time: 5 min. - Cook Time: 50 min.
2 tbsp. butter OR margarine
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup uncooked barley
1 can (26 oz.) Campbell's(R) Cream of Mushroom OR 98% Fat Free Cream of
Mushroom Soup
3 cups water
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/4 tsp. pepper
Chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
MELT butter in saucepan. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until
tender. Add barley and cook until lightly browned.
ADD soup, water, thyme and pepper. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook over
low heat 40 min. or until barley is done. Garnish with parsley. Serves 6.
Kitchen Clip:
Fresh mushrooms contain a lot of water, which they release when sautéed.
They also easily absorb water, keeping them plump and intact in a soup
like this. However, since they do absorb water so easily, don't wash
them under running water--simply brush any soil away with a soft brush
before sautéing.
