• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces Mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 8 cups Gluten-free vegetable broth
• 0.75 cup Gluten-free barley or brown rice
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and their liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated.

Step 6

Add the vegetable broth, gluten-free barley or brown rice, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the grains are tender.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
