Mushroom Barley Soup
I had mushroom barley soup at work and it was so good I had to create my own recipe to make at home. It took a couple of tries to get it right because there was always something missing. It turns out the the poultry seasoning was the missing ingredient.

24 ounces sliced mushrooms4 cups beef broth2 teaspoons poultry seasoning1/2 cup barley, uncooked3/4 cup milk

In large sauce pan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add celery, onions, and carrots. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Place cooked vegetables in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Return to sauce pan. Add beef broth and poultry seasoning. Heat on medium high for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, add barley, stir, cover and cook for 45 minutes.
