Heat butter and vegetable oil in a frying pan (approximately a tablespoon each). In the heated oil we throw the carrots chopped large and finely chopped onions. Fry the vegetables for 10 minutes until the onions become caramelized.
Put the fried vegetables in a soup pot.
We clean the potatoes from the peel, cut into large cubes, add to the roasted vegetables.
Next, put boiled mushrooms - in this recipe chanterelles and brown birch mushrooms.
Fresh mushrooms need to sort, thoroughly washed, cut into large. Pour mushrooms with water, bring to a boil, remove scale, salt and cook over low heat until cooked. Then fold in a colander, strain the broth.
At this stage, add boiled pearl barley. It is also necessary to boil the cereal, like mushrooms, before boiling until cooked - wash the barley, pour it into a saucepan, pour cold water in the ratio of 1 to 2. Boil it on low heat for about 30 minutes.
