Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm. Add the onion, carrots and celery and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, until mushrooms start to cook down.
  3. Add dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaf, pepper and salt, stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add vegetable broth and barley. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 30 minutes, until barley is cooked.
  5. Add tamari and spinach, stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until spinach wilts.
  6. Remove bay leaf and season to taste. Serve warm topped with fresh parsley and a side of crusty bread, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Let the soup cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen soup in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
