Steak & Mushroom Barley Soup ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #soup #recipe

When I was considering what else to do with my leftover steak (from the steak kabobs) besides that awesome steak & blue cheese salad, I settled on a soup. And furthermore, I decided that mushrooms and barley would be the perfect thing to put in a steak soup. So I went to the store to get me some barley. It took a bit of searching to find it because I wasn’t sure what aisle to look in. But I found it (and now I’ve already forgotten what aisle it was in!) and was so excited to make my steak & mushroom barley soup. I didn’t have time the day I went shopping to make soup, but I was planning on doing it after work the next day.


And on that day at work, I just heard a chance snippet of a conversation in the breakroom as I was walking out … “who buys BARLEY anymore?!?” someone was saying. I don’t know the context of the conversation or how they got on the topic of barley, but I giggled a little to myself since I had JUST gone and bought some barley. It’s one of those healthy grains that’s high in fiber and good for your heart … it can help lower cholesterol … and it’s so tasty too! We should all really eat more of it.

So here’s to the barley-buyers of the world! Let’s all have some soup.
