80gr red lentils

Soak the shiitake mushrooms for at least 1 hour in a liter of water.
Rinse the barley and the lentils and put them in a pot with the shiitake water and a piece of kombu, bring to boil.
Cut the celery in small pieces and the shiitake in stripes, add it to the soup and cover the pot with a lid.
