This looks delicious – I still need a pressure cooker, but I could cook this the “long” way too. I love the picture of the soup and spoon over the bamboo (?) mat!
Thank you! Yes, it’s a bamboo mat — fun, huh? Was so excited to “see you” in boot camp last night! 🙂
Me too – it was great to see your name on the list! I’m excited to learn as much as I can over the next few weeks. Hoping to figure out the hangout thing tomorrow night. 🙂

So jealous of your pressure cookers. We soak a lot around here. The soup sounds tasty.
It’s a new favorite!
This sounds so awesome. I NEVER use my pressure cooker. In fact, I think I’ve lost the pressure cap anyway. I had one bean explosion, and I vowed to retire it for good. But I might try this the slow-cooked way.
I was terrified when I got the first one but now I actually even leave the kitchen when they are going! LOL
that soup looks so great for a cold winter day!
Thanks, Carrie!

I’ve never cooked with a pressure cooker before. I watched my friend do it, and I’ve seen my parents do it.

I got a pressure cooker for Christmas, and this is the first recipe I made. Easy and declicious! Thank you!!
@89397bf3923aee78c360a8f60744ffff:disqus, I’m so glad you liked it and appreciated the ease! Congrats on that pressure cooker! 🙂
[…] Goes Vegan for her delicious Portobello Mushroom and Barley Soup recipe, as well as food and fitness […]
I made this today and it was delicious. The proportions of broth to veggies to barley were perfect. Not being tomato season, I substituted a 14-oz. can of diced tomatoes. Seems like an okay switch. Thanks for a great recipe!
@79c4542240d8399fbadf288ede3d8bcd:disqus, thank you for letting me know! Love your substitution!
I found this on Pinterest and as it’s getting cooker I feel like I need to make this soup! The problem is, I don’t have a pressure cooker or a slow cooker. How would I cook this in a regular pot on the stove?
Hi Claire Allison. First, I usually wouldn’t be able to answer this for you regarding most of my pressure cooker recipes. I’m a home cook and post about how I make things in the PC, but this recipe was in my book Vegan for Her and I did test it on the stovetop, too. Here you go:
STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat oil in a large pot.
Add garlic and onions and sauté for a few minutes.
Add celery and carrots and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add water and stock and bring to a boil.
Add mushrooms, tomato, barley, and thyme to boiling water/stock and stir together.
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low for 35 to 40 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Thank you so much! A pressure cooker has been on my ‘want’ list but being a broke college student doesn’t exactly help haha ;P
I’ll have to check out that book Abbe you’re other recipes when i do get a pressure cooker! Thanks again.
Recipe looks good! But I tried to print it for later and all it printed was a “warning”? Can’t be saved?
Hi, @disqus_WVWUt9QLYy:disqus! Sorry about the trouble but after having many of my recipes lifted from my site and used in plagiarized books on Amazon, I added copyright protection that doesn’t allow cutting and pasting. I will eventually get my recipes converted to a program that allows printing.You should be able to book mark the recipe, though! Meanwhile, I’m SO HAPPY that you enjoyed it!
No worries! Thanks again for a great recipe, I will be making it again.
