I just made this this afternoon. This has to be one of the easiest recipes on Macheesmo! I made it on the stove and, like you said, just simmered it for 45 minutes or so and it turned out really well. I've never made such an easy soup, and at about 12 serving (I doubled the recipe too), the work to yield ratio is awesome! Plus, all you need is a knife, a pot, and a cutting board–just my speed.This should definitely get a quick and easy tag. =) Thanks for the recipe!

[...] Mushroom and barley stew, made without the potatoes and corn. Beans are already soaking, and this will be in the crockpot. [...]

[...] and if you are looking for another great crockpot recipe, try Macheesmo’s Mushroom Barley Stew. It made so much, and it was so good, Jer ate it almost every day for a week! Categories: [...]

Got this simmering away in my crock pot right now. My husband love to make big batches of healthy dishes that we can eat off of all week for lunch.

You can just eat barley for breakfast! I think it might be good in kind of a cold salad fashion… I’ll try to find a good recipe for it ;)

This looks super yum… but noone at my house really likes soups/stews but me :-(

Do you have any other great ideas for barley besides stew?

I just put this in the crockpot – heading off for a hike on a beautiful Saturday. Have got friends coming over for dinner, one of which is vegan. Hope we like it because I did what you did – doubled everything. Looks like a ton of it!

Hey Katie, you gotta try the greek yogurt. It’s tangy and delicious. Don’t use reg yogurt though… that’s be too sweet I think.

There is something really satisfying about throwing a whole bunch of vegetables into a big pot – it’s homey and comforting. Your stew looks delicious, although the yoghurt is something I wouldn’t have thought of – now I want to try it to see what it tastes like!

This is my 1st time on Taste Spotting. My friend just told me about the website today. I quit eating beef and pork about 5 years ago after being on Previcid for 5 years . A book called “Eat right for your type” by Peter DiAdamo was the answer I had been looking for. I found it very to digest meat and found that type A positive group should not be eating red meat. I thought it would be dificult but not so. I eat some turkey, chicken and fish. I have not had to take anything for acid reflux. But I do regularly drink about 2 ounces of 50% Organic apple cider with honey and 50% filtered water and about 1/3 cup honey. The vinegar should be organic and un pasturized. I don’t get on blogs because I don’t know when to quit talking. I love Barley and will try this stew on Saturday. I also am on a restricted sodium diet and can’t have dark greens because of blood thinner. I am a joy to be around (HA!) but life is indeed good. I am still alive! I will revisit as I do so much vegetarian eating.
I really came to the website looking for a recipe for Chilled Mango Soup and any other chilled soups that are someone’s favorites.

Thanks and have a Blessed Day!
