Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by heating a soup pot over medium heat until hot.
  • Add olive oil and bring to shimmer but Do Not Burn.
  • Add the onions & garlic and saute until onions are translucent and starting to brown. This will take 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable stock, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. You may have to lower the heat at some point.
  • Add the chicken stock, carrot, squash, and chopped cremini mushrooms. Continue cooking at a simmer until the squash is cooked through - about 15 minutes.
  • Add the wild mushrooms and barley to the soup and continue to cook until the barley plumps up. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas and kale and continue simmering for another 10 minutes until the barley is soft.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve in soup bowls topped with a bit of grated Parmesan cheese.
