Vegetarianism & Mushroom-Barley Soup

>Pesce vegetarians include only fish.

You may find many vegetarians will be offended by the suggestion that
someone who eats fish is "one of them."  Pescetarianism is generally
considered to be a diet *completely* separate from vegetarianism, and NOT a
sub-category.

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  10                    dried mushrooms -- stems removed,
                        broken in pieces
   6      cups          vegetable broth
   1                    onions -- chopped
   2                    carrots -- chopped
   2      stalks        celery -- chopped
   2      medium        parsnips -- chopped
     1/2  cup           lentils -- (orange)
                        or yellow split peas
   1 1/2  teaspoons     italian seasoning
     1/2  pinch         cayenne pepper -- or to taste
     1/2  cup           barley -- or other whole grain
     1/4  cup           chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Combine mushrooms and stock and let them soak at least 10 minutes, or until
soft.  Add the remaining ingredients except the parsley and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour or until barley and
vegetables are tender.  When ready to serve, stir in the parsley and adjust
the seasonings.  If desired, you may then puree the soup in a blender and
return it to the pot to heat before serving.
