Ingredients
  1. 3 qts (12 cups) chicken or mushroom stock (low sodium okay)
  2. 1 1/4 cups pearl barley
  3. 2 bay leaves
  4. 6 dried shitake mushrooms
  5. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  6. 1 large onion, chopped
  7. 1 cup chopped celery, including leaves
  8. 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
  9. 2 cloves crushed garlic
  10. 1 lb white mushrooms, scrubbed and sliced
  11. Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Pour chicken or mushroom stock into a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Stir in the barley, add the bay leaves, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered. Set your timer for 2:15 (2 hours 15 minutes) starting now
  2. While the soup simmers, place dried mushrooms in a separate small saucepan. Add 3 cups of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, remove saucepan from heat and let the mushrooms soak for 20 minutes.
  3. Drain the mushroom water by straining it through a coffee filter (use a mesh strainer or colander to hold the filter). Reserve the mushroom water.
  4. Chop the soaked, softened mushrooms into small pieces and reserve.
  5. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté till softened.
  6. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for 5 more minutes till everything is browning and starting to caramelize.
  7. Add the soaked chopped dried mushroom pieces and crushed garlic, sauté for 2 more minutes. Your kitchen should smell really good right about now!
  8. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Pour the strained mushroom broth into the skillet, bring to a boil, stir. Cook for 2 more minutes till mixture is hot and bubbly. Add the contents of the skillet to the simmering stockpot with the broth and barley.
  9. Without rinsing the skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat, tilting to coat the bottom of the pan. Spread half of the sliced white mushrooms in a single layer at the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and turn heat to high. Let the mushrooms sear without stirring.
  10. After 2 minutes, stir the mushrooms continuously for another 1-2 minutes until they are seared golden brown and shrink to about half their size.
  11. Pour the seared mushrooms into the soup pot. Heat the last 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet and repeat the process for the remaining mushrooms. Add the rest of the seared mushrooms to the soup pot, stir to blend all ingredients.
  12. Reduce heat to a low simmer. Let the soup cook uncovered until your timer goes off (2 hours 15 minutes total cooking time), or until the barley is completely tender and the soup is nicely thickened. Add water during the simmer if the soup becomes overly thick. At the end of cooking, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
  1. You will also need

Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  2. 1 large clove garlic, peeled, chopped (I used 2)
  3. 1 medium onion,peeled, coarsely chopped
  4. 2 cups orange lentils, rinsed
  5. 6 cups water or vegetable broth (I used water and added 4 tsp of a kosher, vegetable-based, chicken-flavored, powdered soup stock)
Seasonings
  1. 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  4. Croutons. if desired
  5. Lemon wedges
Instructions
  1. In a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the lentils and stir to soak them in the oil. Add the stock and bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot and cook, removing any foam that rises to the surface, until the lentils are soft, about 30-40 minutes (My smaller lentils were ready in 25 minutes). Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15 minutes.
  2. Transfer the lentils, with their liquid, to a blender, in batches if necessary, and coarsely puree. Return the soup to the pot. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Notes
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls, and sprinkle a few croutons on top and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Ingredients
  1. 6 to 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms
  2. 6 to 8 ounces fresh portobello mushrooms
  3. 6 to 8 ounces fresh cremini (or porcini) mushrooms
  4. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  5. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  6. 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  7. 1 carrot, peeled chopped
  8. 1 sprig fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves, divided
  9. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  10. 2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 large leeks)
  11. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  12. 1 cup dry white wine
  13. 1 cup half-and-half
  14. 1 cup heavy cream
  15. 1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
  1. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if there are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2cups of stock. If not, add some water.
  3. Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.
Notes
  1. The original recipe called for a mix of shiitake, portabella and cremini mushrooms, but you can use any varieties. Mushrooms are considered a umami ingredient - especially dried shiitake mushrooms that you reconstitute. Referred to as the fifth taste behind sweet, salty, bitter and sour, umami ingredients add a meaty taste to dishes without the addition of meat.
  2. Shiitake mushrooms have a meaty texture. Once cooked, that meaty flavor profile continues with the addition of a bit of smokiness. When using shiitakes, only the caps are generally eaten. The stems, as in today's recipe, are used to make stock along with the other mushroom stems. For today's recipe, I used a mix of cremini and shiitake. Many sources says cremini are just the brown version of a white mushroom. You will also see them referred to as Italian mushrooms. They are my go-to mushrooms because I think they have a heartier taste and texture than regular white mushrooms.
  3. In making the mushroom stock, there's no long simmering process or roasting. It's made from mushroom stems and vegetables - that's it. So it works twofold: making use of any leftover vegetables hanging around as well as the mushroom stems. Shiitake mushroom stems, because of their tough texture, aren't usually used in recipes. But they are a good way to flavor stocks and broths.
  4. Most recipes say never to wash mushrooms or soak them in water. Instead, mushrooms should be wiped clean with a damp paper towel. If you just rinse them quickly under water, it's fine. Mushrooms are like a sponge, and if you put them in water, they'll soak it up and lose flavor.
  5. Finely, the creaminess. It's thanks to heavy cream, half-and-half and butter. Yes, it's a lot of fat. But it's also a lot of flavor.

Ingredients
  1. 1 pint onion, ½" dice
  2. ¼ c vegetable oil
  3. 1 c celery, ½" dice
  4. 1 quart asparagus*, 1" pieces
  5. 1 pint Idaho or russet potato (about 1 large), ½" dice
  6. 1 Tbl kosher salt
  7. 1 ½ quarts chicken stock
  8. dash black pepper
  9. Garnish
  10. ½ c whipped cream
  11. Drizzle Truffle oil
Instructions
  1. 1. Start with a short-sided pot/pan, preheat to high. Once pan is hot, add vegetable oil and diced onions. Sauté until onions become fragrant and slightly golden, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  2. 2. Add Celery and asparagus to pan with cooked onions. Season with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and black pepper. Continue to sauté over high heat until asparagus and celery are soft and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  3. 3. Add potatoes and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. 4. Transfer all vegetable to a tall-sided 8-qt. soup pot. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil then immediately reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
  5. 5. Puree soup using a blender or food processor. Do not use an immersion blender or it won't be creamy enough. Do a little at a time.
Notes
  1. Before serving, taste and correct seasoning with additional kosher salt and pepper as needed. Garnish soup with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle truffle oil.
  2. To whip cream: Place whipping cream and ¼ tsp kosher salt and a dash of pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whip cream using a hand held mixer or wire whip. Whip until it holds soft peaks.
  3. * Can substitute any vegetable for asparagus.
