Mushroom barley soup

Question

Want to make mushroom barley soup today, but out of barley. Don't want to go to the store in this weather.  Would lentils make a weird substitute for barley?  Thanks.

Thanks. I was thinking about another grain too.  I like the texture the barley gives the soup.  It will be a good excuse to dig through my pantry.

Or think of barley as a grass/grain and substitute for it rice, pasta, wheat berries , quinoa, couscous.

There are lots of recipes for lentil mushroom soup out there, so not weird at all. You'll just need to adjust the cooking time so your lentils don't overcook.
