What is it about them? Whether they’re sautéed in butter, piled onto pizza, or shoveled into pasta, pie, or soup, I never think to myself, “Man, there are too many mushrooms.”
So you won’t be surprised that I’ve called for a pound and a half of them in this soup, along with hearty portions of vegetables and barley. Then, to make it a satisfying one dish meal, you’ll stir in a generous amount of brie which will melt into creamy perfection.
If you’re wiped out from a long day at work or just want a quick and hearty meal, this is a great choice. You’ll spend about 15 minutes preparing it, and then let it simmer away for about an hour while you sip a glass of wine or a cup of tea.
And if you love this soup, try this Mushroom Barley Soup too – a simple set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker recipe.

Where do you find mushroom broth? Dumb question ,I know!
Hi Sharon, that’s not a dumb question at all! I usually buy the Pacific brand (boxed broth) which I think most grocery stores carry. You can also make your own – here is a recipe from Chowhound.
Wow oh wow Marissa! This looks like an amazing soup that I would absolutely LOVE to try. Pinned!
I’m sorry, did you say BRIE?! Be still, my heart. What a perfect soup!
You crack me up, Joanne! 😉
