Directions
In a stock pot, heat the olive oil and melt the butter. Add the onions and caramelize. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the carrots and celery, and caramelize them as well. Add the dried mushrooms, parsley, fresh mushrooms and sherry and cook until the liquid is nearly evaporated. Add the beef broth, one cup of the reserved mushroom water and the barley. Season and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour.
Note:
This would be great with some freshly baked Challah Bread.
