Keeping with the theme of fall I finally made the first soup of the season, barley stew with leeks, mushrooms and kale. Soup is seriously the best because you have at least 4 meals for the week. This recipe is via epicurious, my mom also make a yummy barley soup and I always forget to get the recipe from her, so mom when you read this please send it over.
