This soup with mushrooms and barley is sometimes said to be a soup from childhood. Some people remember summer in the village... Mushrooms can be fresh, dried or frozen, usually white mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, boletus mushrooms. You can also make a similar soup from fresh champignons, but wild mushrooms are still more aromatic and richer in taste.
Mushroom soup with barley is suitable for a Lenten menu. Fans add a spoonful of sour cream to portions of mushroom soup as a hint of sourness, and for a lean version, a little tomato sauce is suitable. I also like to accompany a portion with just a spoonful of aromatic, i.e. unrefined vegetable oil.
Prepare the ingredients according to the list:
The barley needs to be washed and soaked for half an hour in cold water, then boiled until half cooked and rinsed.
Fresh mushrooms need to be peeled and cut into pieces. Dried ones must be soaked to soften them.
And mushrooms frozen in pieces are simply thrown into boiling water.
Throw the mushrooms into boiling water along with the semi-finished, washed pearl barley.
At the next boil, add diced potatoes if desired.
Finely chop the onion and carrots and fry in vegetable oil, add a little salt.
At the end of simmering, if desired, add a little tomato sauce, but this is not necessary, but a matter of personal taste or to diversify the menu.
Add the vegetables at the end of cooking and cook everything over low heat for another five minutes or until the pearl barley is cooked to the desired degree.
Mushroom soup with barley is ready.
Bon appetit!

Video recipes for making soup
In the video below you can see how other housewives make this wonderful soup. In the first video, the principle of cooking mushrooms is slightly different, they are first boiled whole and then cut, but it seems to me that cutting hot mushrooms is not very pleasant.
The second video uses dried mushrooms instead of fresh ones. But the cooking principle itself does not change. The only thing is that this method is very long, since the mushrooms still need to be soaked. Yes, there are fewer vegetables here, but the budget is small.
In both videos they use different types of mushrooms, which will make the taste richer and more versatile, but personally I don’t see much of a difference.
Everyone loves mushroom soup, so there are a lot of recipes for making it. But this time I want to offer you a simple, proven recipe that was so popular in Soviet times.

Then remove and add steamed pearl barley to the mushroom broth and cook for 40 minutes.

Soups are an integral part of any person's diet. Some people prefer to eat them regularly, while others prefer to eat them periodically, believing that they can eat a varied diet without them. But you must remember that in all medical institutions (sanatoriums, dispensaries) they always serve hot food for lunch every day. The same thing happens in kindergartens and schools. Doctors always talk about the benefits of this dish. Due to the presence of many ingredients (and soups are prepared from a variety of products), they contain a very large range of vitamins. Because of the broth, no matter what it is: meat, vegetable, fish, this dish is easily digestible and helps the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
This mushroom soup recipe is very affordable and easy to make. The combination of products, on the one hand, is quite simple, but on the other, unusual. But it is precisely this combination that makes the taste multifaceted and pleasant.
Despite the fact that there is no meat in this recipe, the dish turns out to be very satisfying and nutritious. This is achieved through the use of mushrooms, which are rich in plant proteins. It is no coincidence that they are called plant-based meat. And pearl barley also gives you a long feeling of fullness. Vegetarians should definitely take note of the recipe for this soup, because it turns out to be balanced and capable of saturating the body with all the necessary substances.
Those who keep the fast can also add it to their notes. It can be prepared at any time. In summer and autumn, using fresh wild mushrooms, and in winter and spring - frozen or dried. You can also always use oyster mushrooms or champignons. They are sold year-round in our stores. Oyster mushrooms are preferable. Although it has waste, it is more fragrant.
For some reason, many people don’t like pearl barley. Or rather, porridge from it. These people will definitely love this cereal in soup. Because its taste is not so pronounced due to the mushrooms. But barley is very useful for our body. It is rich in selenium, which is a powerful antioxidant. There is a lot of phosphorus in it, so it should be eaten by everyone who is engaged in mental work, since phosphorus activates brain activity. Many people do not like pearl barley because of its mucus, which is formed during cooking. But it protects the walls of the stomach from the harmful effects of many unwanted substances, relieves inflammation and even helps heal ulcers.
Therefore, try to prepare this not only tasty, but also healthy soup more often.

Pearl barley is one of those healthy cereals that cleanse the body of toxins and prevent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It contains fiber, provitamin A and silicic acid, improves immunity, strengthens the cardiovascular system. There is also no need to talk much about the benefits of mushrooms - everyone knows how much protein and vitamins they need for humans. That is why frozen mushroom soup with barley, the recipe for which we offer, is an amazing combination of not only tasty, but also healthy products.
You can freeze any mushrooms - champignons, oyster mushrooms, wild mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, honey mushrooms, boletus mushrooms and others. And even in winter you can prepare soup from them, which is in no way inferior to that cooked from fresh ones. For greater satiety and meaty flavor, chicken broth is also used.
Advice: Before cooking, barley should be left in cold water for 30 minutes, then pour boiling water for another 1 hour. Thanks to this, the cereal will be cleaned and steamed.
There are very few people who are not driven crazy by the fragrant aroma of wild mushrooms! “Silent hunting” is the favorite pastime of many city dwellers and the vast majority of villagers. Fresh forest mushrooms are dried, salted and pickled. Technologies of the 20th century added to these ancient methods of storage one more, perhaps the most common one today - freezing!
After all, what a pleasure it is to get a bag of peeled, pre-boiled mushrooms in winter and fry them with potatoes... or prepare a thick, aromatic soup that will appeal to both big and small (although it is extremely undesirable to give any mushrooms to children under 3 years old, after all, this is quite difficult for digestion, and also a very allergenic product). But what about those who did not bother with a strategic supply of frozen boletus and boletus in the summer?
Fortunately, in almost every store the shelves are full of bright bags of frozen mushrooms, there are also cultivated inexpensive honey mushrooms, and there are also royal porcini mushrooms. In any case, no matter what mushrooms you choose, before cooking they must be completely defrosted and rinsed very thoroughly with cold water, since bags of wild mushrooms often contain spruce needles and withered leaves.
I prefer to buy mushroom mixtures: they contain noble mushrooms, which provide taste and aroma, as well as simpler mushrooms for volume, which greatly reduces the cost of the entire purchase. My recipe today is very simple and unpretentious, but the soup turns out thick, rich and tasty.

Mushroom soup with barley
The tradition of serving first courses has long been rooted in our usual cuisine, and many housewives consider lunch without soup incomplete. An excellent solution to diversify your diet can be mushroom soup, to which you add noodles, rice or pearl barley. The latter has many useful properties.
Features of cooking
There is no need to cook meat broth, as it can overwhelm the taste of the dish. It is best to choose dry boletus or aspen mushrooms (they are sold on the market all year round) and soak them in advance. They soak for 4-6 hours and then cook like regular broth. Then the soup will be more flavorful. If you can’t find dried ones, you can take fresh white or boletus mushrooms.
It is not recommended to cook broth with champignons or oyster mushrooms, since there will be practically no aroma left. If you have no other options, add at least a mushroom or vegetable flavored stock cube (if you don't mind spice). Pearl barley also needs to be filled with water for 3-4 hours in advance, so it’s better to start cooking at least half a day before the expected lunch. You can cook it in advance, since you will have to fry it with onions later.
How to cook mushroom soup with barley - recipes with photos
If you want to make a rich dish, it is better to use several varieties of mushrooms. Dried ones are suitable for broth, noble white, boletus or aspen mushrooms are useful for giving the soup a real taste and aroma, and inexpensive, available champignons or oyster mushrooms will add volume. You can also put rare ones, for example, Chinese wood or shiitake, nigella, pigwort. In addition, you will need vegetables: onions, carrots, potatoes.
Mushroom soup made from dried mushrooms with barley
This recipe is the simplest solution that requires minimal cost. You will need:
- dry mushrooms – 2-3 handfuls;
- carrot;
- bulb;
- potatoes – 2 pcs.;
- vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons;
- pearl barley – 1 cup.
Mushrooms and barley need to be soaked 4-5 hours in advance. Then start preparing the dish. Do this:
- Boil the cereal.
- Place the mushroom broth on the fire, after cutting the dried mushrooms into small pieces.
- Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. When the broth boils, add the potatoes.
- Chop the carrots and finely chop the onion. Fry and add boiled pearl barley. Keep on the fire until the roast is browned.
- After 10-15 minutes, add the roast.
- Bring to a boil again, keep covered for a while and serve.
Frozen mushroom recipe
Avid mushroom pickers who collect their own mushrooms often manage to freeze their own supplies for the winter. Any variety is suitable for preparing a rich, aromatic dinner in winter or autumn; it turns out delicious even with honey mushrooms. You will need:
- frozen mushrooms – 800 g;
- potatoes – 3-4 pcs.;
- carrot;
- bulb;
- pearl barley – 1 cup;
- laurel;
- black pepper, salt.
It is more difficult to cook broth with frozen mushrooms than with dried ones, so it makes sense to add a special seasoning or a bouillon cube. If you're against spices, stick to black pepper. Do this:
- Thaw the mushrooms and, without draining the water, fill the pan full. Bring to a boil. Add bay leaf and pepper.
- Chop carrots and onions and fry. Add a glass of pre-cooked pearl barley.
- After 15 minutes, add the roast. Let it boil again, keep it covered for 10 minutes.
How to cook oyster mushrooms
If you don’t know how to cook mushroom soup with barley, start cooking with the simplest recipes. Oyster mushrooms are easy to buy at any store, and the dish will be very light. You will need:
- oyster mushrooms – 1.5 kg;
- potatoes – 2-3 pcs.;
- carrot;
- bulb;
- chicken back;
- pearl barley – 1 cup.
Oyster mushrooms shrink greatly in volume when cooked, and do not have a pronounced taste. Therefore, it is better to cook such a dish with chicken broth or with the addition of special spices. Do this:
- Place the chicken back with the remaining meat on it in a saucepan and cover with water. When the broth begins to boil, skim off the foam, add salt, pepper and bay leaf, reduce heat and leave covered for an hour.
- Remove the chicken and remove any pieces of meat from the skeleton.
- Cut the potatoes into cubes and place them in the broth.
- Finely chop the oyster mushrooms and fry until the liquid disappears.
- In a separate frying pan, fry the chopped carrots and onions, add pearl barley to them.
- Place oyster mushrooms, fried chicken, and pieces of chicken into the pan. Bring to a boil, leave covered for a while.
How to cook pearl barley soup with mushrooms in a slow cooker
If you have a pressure cooker or multicooker from a good company in your kitchen (for example, Redmond, Philips, Panasonic or Polaris), you will be able to prepare a delicious dish much faster. A lean, nutritious barley soup that contains few calories will work well. You will need the following ingredients:
- mushrooms to your taste – 1 kg;
- bulb;
- carrot;
- pearl barley – 1 cup;
Butter mushrooms, honey mushrooms or white mushrooms have a bright taste, but if you use champignons or oyster mushrooms, additional spices will be required. You need to prepare it like this:
- Soak the pearl barley in advance.
- Cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
- Grate the carrots. Finely chop the onion. Place them in a slow cooker, add sunflower oil and turn on the frying mode.
- Add mushrooms and cereals, cover with water. Add salt and spices. Leave on simmer mode for 40 minutes.
Champignon soup with barley and pickles
The original recipe for mushroom soup with barley is somewhat reminiscent of pickle soup. However, this dish can be prepared in a very unusual way to be sure to please your family and guests. You will need:

- pickled cucumbers – 4-5 pcs.;
- champignons – 1 kg;
- potatoes – 3-4 pcs.;
- carrot;
- bulb;
- tomato paste – 2 tbsp. spoons;

Mushroom soup made from frozen mushrooms with barley
Mushroom soup made from frozen mushrooms with barley is easy to prepare, but requires quite a lot of time to prepare. However, only pearl barley is “to blame” for this. So if it is cooked in advance - for example, when preparing it as a side dish for some dish, you end up with “excess” - then everything will work out much faster.
- Recipe author: K. Kryn
- After cooking you will receive 4 servings
- Cooking time (excluding soaking pearl barley): 2-2.5 hours
Ingredients
- Frozen mushrooms – 3-4 handfuls
- Pearl barley – 1-2 handfuls
- Potatoes – 2-3 pcs. (small size)
- Onion – 1 pc. (small size)
- Carrots – 1 pc. (small size)
- Salt - to taste
- Butter (for frying)
- Sour cream (to add to the finished dish)
Step by step recipe
Soak the pearl barley. Rinse pearl barley thoroughly, place in a spacious bowl, pour cold water 3-4 cm above the surface of the barley and leave to swell for several hours.
Boil pearl barley. Rinse the swollen pearl barley thoroughly, put it in a small saucepan, pour boiling water 2-3 cm above the barley, add salt, stir, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover loosely with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water has completely evaporated.
Let the mushroom broth simmer. When the pearl barley is almost ready, you can start cooking the mushroom broth. Rinse the frozen mushrooms, put them in a three-liter pan, add cold water 4-6 cm below the edge of the pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover loosely with a lid.
Fry pearl barley with onions in butter. Heat a dry frying pan slightly over medium heat, put a piece of butter in it and leave to melt. Peel the onion, cut into small cubes, add to melted butter and fry until translucent. Place pearl barley in a frying pan, mix with onion and fry for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring continuously. Then cover the speedo with a lid and remove from heat.
Add carrots to mushroom soup. Having finished preparing the frying, peel the carrots, cut into strips, pour into the soup, stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover loosely with a lid and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Check the potatoes for readiness. Once the potato pieces can be easily mashed with the back of a spoon on the side wall of the pan, you can continue.
Add fried pearl barley and onions to the mushroom soup. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover loosely with a lid and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Taste the soup for salt, add more salt if necessary, stir again, cover loosely with a lid, let simmer for another 2-3 minutes and remove the pan from the heat.
Mushroom soup made from frozen mushrooms with barley is ready! When serving, the soup can be seasoned with sour cream.
