Pearl barley with porcini mushrooms

Pearled barley and porcini mushrooms are the main ingredients of this excellent recipe, which can be enjoyed as a soup or as a type of risotto. Perfect as it is, it will be even better with your personal touch.

All ingredients are included in the package, and you won't need anything else to prepare a delicious soup or a creamy first course in just a few minutes.

The particular texture of the barley pairs perfectly with porcini mushrooms, and the natural creaminess released by the barley during cooking will allow you to cream this dish like a risotto with the addition of very little butter.
