Mushroom, Barley & "Acini di pepe" Soup
It was similar to my Mushroom, Wild Rice and Barley Soup, changing Wild Rice to tiny pasta, or Acini di pepe. That was J's idea. We liked the different texture combination of barley and pasta. It was hearty earthy lovely soup to celebrate this fall. I made a big pot so there was plenty of leftover. The barley and pasta soaked up the soup over night and next day the soup looked like risotto... It was reheated nicely and the taste was still great.
