Mushroom Barley Soup

I absolutely love the hearty taste of mushroom barley soup. It was on the table for many dinners in my house growing up. I had always thought it was difficult and time consuming to make. Boy was I wrong! 

The whole process is all done in the same pot! Yay for me, less dishes to wash too!
