Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots and garlic until shallots are translucent.
Add the barley and sage. Toast for several minutes, stirring often, until barley is golden and sage is fragrant.
Stir in mushrooms, carrots, celery, coconut milk, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until barley is al dente and carrots are tender.
Add salt & pepper, taste, and season again as needed.
Serve hot with a crusty baguette.
