FFwD ~ Vegetable Barley Soup with the taste of little India

This Friday's dish is a very simple vegetable soup
with garam masala (I skip the chili flakes)
fresh tumeric instead of ground, fresh ginger, chopped onion
parsnips, carrots and barley
in chicken stock 
this was very pleasant but I find the vegetables too well cooked
(as I cut them rather small - so chunks the next time!)
cos the barley took quite long to cook til tender
 
there is some heat from fresh ginger so I was right to skip the chili flakes
paired with chicken with cherry tomato and caper sauce HERE!

    Delicious looking soup, this was rather easy to make and did not
    take too much cooking time.

    I don't think your vegetable chunks look any smaller than mine. That's about how I cut mine up. But, your barley did take longer to cook than mine. That must be the difference. Your soup still looks delicious.

    I really enjoyed this soup, too. And I agree with you, larger chunks are better. I like a little texture in my soup.

    I always find it challenging with soups to get everything cooked the right amount. So often you have to choose between some parts being over-cooked and other parts being under-cooked.
