Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms and onion in the oil until the mushrooms have given up their juice, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, carrots, barley, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, until the barley is tender, stirring occasionally. |
