Fireside Soup

A simple soup prepared with easily found ingredients - made interesting with Indian spices.

Hail and snow - after several days in the 70's - made me reluctant to shop for dinner. I scoured my freezer, and found pre-cooled barley and chicken stock, and looked for a soup without mushrooms (in deference to 13daughter). This seemed to fit the bill - onions, carrots, garlic, and ginger, plus turmeric and garam marsala - and of course the chicken stock and barley.

My soup was rather thick, and a lovely bright yellow color. The flavor seemed like a surprise, and it was good with a slice of toast.
