Mushroom-and-Barley Soup (Polish "Krupnik")

   Well, I saw _one_ number from THE PRODUCERS.

MUSHROOM-AND-BARLEY SOUP (KRUPNIK)

   I ran across "mushroom-and-barley" soup in a Clementine Paddleford food column.  OED is revising "m," but has nothing anywhere for "mushroom-and-barley soup."
   The Polish cookery volume in the Hippocrene international cookbook series is OLD POLISH TRADITIONS (1981) by Maria Lemnis & Henryk Vitry.  "Polish Krupnik," a soup containing both mushrooms and barley, is on pg. 32.
   The first citation in the publication AMERICAN COOKERY is June/July 1924-May 1925: "Soup, Mushroom-and-Barley, Lenten...593."
   OED doesn't have "krupnik," either.
   I'll more fully look for both "krupnik" and "mushroom-and-barley" at another time, or by request.
