I am making this soup presently and I can honestly say it's not going to last in my house! My CSA presented me with a pound of assorted mushrooms and this was a wonderful way to use them. Really looking forward to having it for our lunch! I added some fresh thyme to the broth and I can't say I have ever seen quick cooking barley at our stores. I actually have a pretty hard time finding any barley at all. I just adjusted the cooking times for the soup. Just the few tastes I have had are amazing!

Are you kidding!! The salt levels are off the charts. Salt is more deadly then sugar and fats. M. Shultz

Thank you for bringing this our attention. The bouillon cubes should have been sodium-free. Now that we have adjusted the ingredient, we hope you find the sodium count acceptable.
