Mushroom Soup

1 box of mushrooms (I prefer Shiitake mushrooms)
3-4 potatoes
1 carrot
1 onion
1 cup of barley
Olive oil
Bay leaves, salt and pepper

 In a large pot start to boil the water. Clean, peel and cut potatoes into cubs. Add them to the pot. Shred carrot and slice the onions, saute them together on the skillet with olive oil until browned. When potatoes will be almost ready add a cup of barley, sauteed carots and onions, sliced mushrooms, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cook until barley and mushrooms are cooked (about 25-30 min). Add fresh dill or parsley if you like. Serve with sour cream.
