Recipe Review

7th October 2012

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

We found this soup to be only OK. I really love eating barley, and also mushrooms. However, the soup seemed bland, despite the herbs and parm rind used for the broth. To my palate, the kale made the broth somewhat sour. It felt like a healthy thing to eat, and I did have two bowls, but it I'm unlikely to prepare this again.

In the interest of full disclosure, I had no dry porcini mushrooms, and perhaps using those would have given the broth the rich mushroom depth I was looking for. Instead, I used dried shitake.
