🍳 Recipe Information
Miso-Mushroom Barley Soup
This hearty vegan dish uses miso and soy to add a tremendous amount of depth and flavor to a relatively quick, one-pot mushroom barley soup. Quartering the mushrooms allows them to retain bite, but you can thinly slice them if you’d prefer everything to be soft and tender. Resist the urge to salt heavily during the bulk of the cooking, as the miso and soy — both sodium-heavy ingredients — will be added at the end to bring the soup together. This is a soup that will thicken, so add more water or broth when reheating. It’s as accommodating as it is comforting: You can empty your pantry or fridge by swapping the barley for farro and spinach for chopped bok choy or other greens.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ pounds cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed, light green and white parts thinly sliced
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, depending on heat preference
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or more as needed)
- 5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)
- 1 lime (optional), halved
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and season lightly with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms shrink down and release their juices, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the scallions and crushed red pepper and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, 2 cups of water and the barley. Raise the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then lower it to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the miso and soy sauce. (Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to seek out any miso clumps, flattening them against the side of the pot to help dissolve.)
- Add the spinach in batches, adding a handful and stirring in until wilted. Taste and season with more soy sauce or salt as needed. Squeeze in half a lime, if using, and cut the rest into wedges for serving. Finish with some black pepper and serve.

As it dissolves it goes right through into the broth/liquid. No hunting for undissolved pieces that need whisking. Same trick works for Better Than Bullion which has a similar thick texture.",

"reviewBody": "In Step 4 it's a lot easier to dissolve the miso by putting a cup of the soup liquid in a small bowl and dissolving the miso with a small whisk and then returning to the simmering soup. The Japanese say don't boil the miso as it kills many of the nutrients, so add at the end. 1 1/2 lb of mushrooms seems a lot for this size recipe. We shall see.",

I thought the next time I make it I would add anchovies, didn't think about miso. Will try this recip next time! A tip for incorporating miso into soups; take a small wire mesh strainer and place the miso in the strainer and dunk it in the soup. Take your spoon and muddle it through the mesh. Japanese cooks use a strainer specifically designed for this that has a deep and narrow basket.",

The depth of flavor is amazing, especially when you consider how simple the seasoning is. Miso is the secret ingredient to everything umami, IMO. Thx to the cook who suggested blending the miso with the soy - you'll never get the miso un-gobbed any other way. A little protein would be good, maybe some tofu next time.",

"description": "This hearty vegan dish uses miso and soy to add a tremendous amount of depth and flavor to a relatively quick, one-pot mushroom barley soup. Quartering the mushrooms allows them to retain bite, but you can thinly slice them if you’d prefer everything to be soft and tender. Resist the urge to salt heavily during the bulk of the cooking, as the miso and soy — both sodium-heavy ingredients — will be added at the end to bring the soup together. This is a soup that will thicken, so add more water or broth when reheating. It’s as accommodating as it is comforting: You can empty your pantry or fridge by swapping the barley for farro and spinach for chopped bok choy or other greens.",
