For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of dried and fresh mushrooms. Rehydrate dried porcini or shiitake mushrooms in hot water, then chop and add them to the soup along with the fresh mushrooms. Reserve the soaking liquid and add it to the soup for extra depth. To make this soup vegetarian, simply substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The barley will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, so you may need to add a little extra broth when reheating.
