Steps
Sequence Step
1Combine barley in a large soup pot with 4 cups water and a teaspoon of sea salt; bring the water to a boil, lower, the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes as you prepare the vegetables
2Peel the onions, halve them, and slice them thinly. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onions gently, with a sprinkle of salt on medium-low heat for at least half an hour. Stir the onions often as they soften and turn golden brown. don''t try to hurry this process.
3Meanwhile, clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth, trim the dry parts from the stems and slice them thinly. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil and the butter in a nonstick pan, stir in the minced garlic for about a minute on high heat, then add the mushrooms and some salt and pepper. Turn down the heat slightly and saute the mushrooms until they sizzles and turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the thyme and the sherry and stir until the sherry cooks away.
4Quarter and slice the cabbage. Trim the green onions and slice them into 1/2 inch pieces--you should have about a cup.
5When the onions and mushrooms are nicely browned, add them to the barley in the soup pot along with the vegetable broth. Use a little of the broth to deglaze the mushroom and onion pans, loosening the sticky dark brown bits. Add the cabbage, green onions, parsley and paprika. Let the soup simmer covered, for another half-hour, until the vegetables are tender. If it get too thick, add a little water.
6Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then taste the soup and correct the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. The lemon juice should balance the sweetness of the onions, and the paprika should add just a slight kick of spiciness.
