Directions

Prep 5 minCook 25 min

1
Bring water to a boil. Place the boiling water and porcini mushrooms in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside to soak.

Add the flour, stir to coat the barley and vegetables, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the porcini mushrooms and their soaking liquid (avoid any grit at the bottom of the bowl), button mushrooms, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the barley is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
