Mushroom Barley Soup Vegan Style
We love a good heart healthy soup that appeals to all eaters! This soup is Vegan friendly, Vegetarian friendly and of course Gluten Free.
No matter what your Food-Attitude is, you will enjoy this quick-cooking mushroom barley soup.
We often tend to forget about barley when making healthy soups, but barley is a great choice because it is a high-fiber grain that is an important part of a healthy diet.
Of course this soup is just as healthy and delicious if you use beef broth, so use whatever broth suits your needs.
