I love mushroom barley soup and I was originally making one that took about 3 hours to cook. This one is so simple and easy and takes a third of the time. If you like mushroom barley soup, you will really like this. It's perfect for a cold winter night.
You can make this dish ahead--just cover and refrigerate or freeze after you've spread the final layer of marinara sauce. Serve with a salad and breadsticks to round out the meal.
This is a very easy recipe (just the kind I like!) that I got from my sister-in-law. I like to make it in winter as a way to capture the barbecues of summer.
Stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and scallions, spinach, cheese, and creamy Dijon and sour cream, Twice-Baked Potatoes are a favorite comfort food and a delicious accompaniment to almost any dish.
'I associate asparagus with spring-time...and its beautiful green color with new life,' shares Lynn Vogel of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 'That's why this delightful soup is the perfect started to our family's Easter dinner each year.'
Bacon, onions and pickles are wrapped in thin slices of flank steak, browned in butter, then simmered in beef broth. Serve with spaetzle to soak up the gravy.
Even kids who don't care for vegetable soup may enjoy this one. Very good flavor. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil now that they're available. Turkey smoked sausage is great in this recipe!
