Mushroom Barley Soup

"Variation of beef & barley soup recipe that was listed on the box of barley I bought. Perfect hearty (and heart healthy) meal idea and an easy weekend cooker for a whole week's worth of lunches. I've made the recipe for myself with much more garlic (4 cloves), but most people who've tried that amount agree it has too much for their taste."
