Instructions
Boil barley in plenty of water until tender but not mushy, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain water and set aside.
Heat oil in a stock pot and saute onions until light brown, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute for another 5 minutes, stirring. Add barley, vegetable broth, sage, sundried tomatoes and beans to cooked vegetables. Bring to a boil and then simmer low partially covered for 20 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Add the spinach and lemon juice just prior to service. Stir to wilt the spinach. Garnish with 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese per serving of soup.
