DIRECTIONS

1) Soak dried mushrooms in 1 cup boiling water 20 minutes or until softened. Meanwhile, melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain soaked mushrooms, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms. Add mushrooms, beef broth, barley, thyme and mushroom soaking liquid to saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until barley is tender.
2) Cook cutlets as specified on the package. Always cook to well-done, 165ºF as measured by a meat thermometer. Cut into ½ strips and sprinkle with ground pepper and salt, if desired. Stir into soup; simmer 10 minutes.
