  2. Wipe mushrooms clean with damp paper toweling; cut into thick slices for about 1 1/2 c.. Pare carrots; cut into 1/4 inch slices for about 2 1/2 c.. Trim spinach and rinse well in several changes of lukewarm water; cut or possibly tear into 2-inch pcs for about 3 c..
  3. Heat butter in large heavy saucepan over medium heat. When foam subsides, add in onion and garlic; saute/fry till softened, 2-3 min. Add in turnips, potatoes, mushrooms and carrots; cook, stirring frequently, about 3 min. Add in stock; increase heat to medium-high. Heat to boiling. Add in barley shapes; reduce heat to low. Simmer soup, covered, till vegetables are crisp-tender, 8-10 min.

  7. TIP: Toasted barley shapes, a pasta product, can be found in the dry pasta section of supermarkets. If they are not available, pastina can be substituted. (I have also simmered longer and used pearl barley.)
