1 ounce dried mushrooms
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
1 medium (1 cup) leek, halved lengthwise, sliced 1/4-inch
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
1/2 cup uncooked barley
3 (14.5-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 large sprigs fresh dill, if desired
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
*Use porcini, morel, chanterelle or oyster mushrooms. Avoid shiitake as they take longer to rehydrate. **Substitute 2 teaspoons dried dill weed.
STEP 1
Place dried mushrooms in bowl. Pour boiling water over dried mushrooms; let stand 1 hour. Drain; reserve liquid. Slice mushrooms, if whole.
