This recipe was inspired by my rabbi in seminary who used to make us Mushroom Barley soup to break the fasts.
This soup is great if your the type who HATES artificial broths. I love eating healthy and my goal when it comes to cooking is to always stay away from the fake stuff and eat things that the HEART will love!
Enjoy!
