Mollie's version is very nice, although possibly not 
like the one
you had.  Here it is:
---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01
 
      Title: Mushroom-Barley Soup
 Categories: Soups, Grains
      Yield: 6 servings
 
    1/2 c  Uncooked barley
  6 1/2 c  Water
      1 T  Margarine
      1    Medium onion, chopped
      2    Garlic cloves, mince
      1 lb Mushrooms, sliced
    1/2 t  Salt
      3 T  Soy sauce
      3 T  Dry sherry
           Black pepper to taste
 
  1) Place the barley and 1 1/2 cups of the water in 
a large saucepan or a
  Dutch oven.  Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until 
the barley is tender
  (20 to 30 minutes).
  
  2) Meanwhile, melt the margarine in a skillet.  Add 
the onions and saute'
  for about 5 minutes over medium heat.  Add garlic, 
mushrooms, and salt.
  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything 
is very tender -
  about 10 to 12 minutes.  Stir in soy sauce and sherry.
  
  3) Add the saute' with all its liquid to the cooked 
barley, along with the
  remaining 5 cups of water.  Grind in a generous amount 
of black pepper,
  and simmer, partially covered, another 20 minutes 
over very low heat.
  Taste to correct seasonings, and serve.

p. 28.
  
  Note: use a big skillet; 1 lb of sliced mushrooms 
is a BIG pile!

Hope you like it.
