[...] silverware and I’ll easily get another warm meal into myself. I know, the barley in the barley and mushroom soup is going to be a fiber bomb… but it sounds so [...]

Just finished dinner and this was YUMMY! No celery in your recipe but I added a few stalks. We also had mushrooms (organic) that were Manager’s Special from Kroger ($1.29 for 8oz)! Added some chicken that we boiled up earlier in the week (also Mgr’s Spcl). Also had biscuits that DH bought on Mgr’s Spcl w/ coupons. Skipped the parsley b/c we didn’t have any on-hand . . . maybe next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe – it was perfect for a rainy evening!

Erin – I’ve just started following your blog in the last month or so and this is the first recipe I’ve actually made of yours. WOW – this was awesome! My husband and I both loved it! My four year old only wanted the mushrooms so next time I may have to add double of those just for him!! Thanks so much for the great recipe!

Made this for dinner last night. YUMMY. My husband and two of my three kids loved it. The youngest doesn’t eat much, so not a surprise that he didn’t make this! Will definitely make this again!

Oh we love barley and my kids do to. I find it takes the taste of anything you add it too, so I use it with a lot as a filler item for my big eating boys.

@Shellie,

That’s why I hate taking shopping pictures! Something is surely to get missed because refrigerated stuff needs to be put away quickly!

Looks like a great recipe! I have some mushrooms in the fridge, I will have to try this! Thanks Erin!

Curious – She accounted for everything in the recipe above if you read the detail. She didn’t leave anything off. And if you add it up the dinner only comes to $3.94 so even if she used slighty more carrots and parsley than she thought she still comes in under $5. Sheesh. Give her a break. She’s providing you with a fabulous recipe that you can feed your family for less than $5. Don’t criticize. Be grateful.

Grandma: Sometimes things get put in the refrigerator by helpful husbands before the picture can be taken. Forgetting one thing in a shopping trip isn’t a huge deal. I bet you would do the same thing on occassion.
