My friend Margie says this soup smells like an Italian restaurant. I think that is a good thing. Perhaps while eating it you will hum Billy Joel’s Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. With a texture similar to risotto, this barley soup is hearty enough to warm you up even on the coldest of fall evenings (hence the foliage picture!). The roasted vegetables add contrasting colors and textures making the soup fun to gaze at, longingly. They also make the soup quite pretty – you might want to dress it up and take it the prom. Or not – that might be a bit weird. I personally love barley soups. I love curling up with a bowl of this soup on a cold night and slowly savoring each bite. Sometimes we watch 80’s movies together.

Autumn Roasted Vegetable and Barley
“Creamy” Silky Carrot
This soup is so creamy you’ll be reaching for the lactaid pills until you remind yourself it has no cream or butter! It is silky and smooth, like the Fonz, if that’s your type… The combination of sweetness and curry bite makes it unique and dare I say, exotic! Also this soup gives me an excuse to post a picture of a carrot jumping rope which I find to be awesome.
“Creamy” Silky Carrot soup also has sweet potato which adds a unique depth of flavor and color. It also has a little bit of curry and coconut milk. Personally I used to stay away from anything containing both these flavors until I gave them a new try. One word: fabulous. No, two words: Simply fabulous. I’m not a fan of coconuts. But coconut milk is sweet and flavorful. And curry? Curry adds that little kick that we love in our soups! Trust me, try this soup and you’ll be a convert like me. Maybe you’ll start a curry and coconut milk cult.
