Mushroom, Bean and Barley Soup


2 cans vegetable broth
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp half and half
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 cups fresh mushrooms (mix of white and crimini)
1 can cannellini beans
1 onion
6 oz frozen egg noodles
1 tsp olive oil

Drain and rinse beans in a colander and set aside. Chop onion and slice mushrooms. Heat oil in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and saute onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook about 5 minutes more. Add broth, milk, half and half, barley, beans, noodles, and parsley. Cover and simmer until barley and noodles are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with black pepper. About 4 servings.
