1 onion, finely diced
2 carrots, scraped and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
150g (2 cups) button mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
1.5l (8 cups) turkey broth
2 tbsp tomato purée (tomato paste)
4 tbsp pearl barley
2 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
300g (2 cups) left-over turkey meat, shredded

Method:

Heat the oil in a large, deep, frying pan or skillet. Add the onion, carrots, celery and mushrooms and fry for 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the thyme and continue cooking for about 6 minutes more, or until the vegetables are just tender.

Heat the turkey broth in a large pot, whisk in the tomato puree then stir in the fried vegetables. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the vinegar, season to taste with salt and black pepper then stir in the pearl barly. Bring the soup just to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for about 18 minutes, or until the pearl barley is tender.

Stir in the turkey meat, bring back to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes more, or until all the ingredients are warmed through.
