Just another RAINY Winter day in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia! We have more than our fair share of them! Cold, blustery \u00a0Winter days call for hot soup!
\nI had a bit \u00a0of pot barley feeling all lonely in the back of the pantry, a bounty of lovely green kale in the fridge along with some mushrooms that I wanted to use up. I googled Mushroom Kale and Barley Soup and found myself at Taste Food’s recipe for Mushroom Barley Soup with Miso and Kale<\/a>. I only had BC White Mushrooms on hand and will definitely make this recipe again using a variety of mushrooms!<\/p>\n
