Few ingredients in this soup – it’s all about the fennel and carrot flavours. And its brothy goodness made it the perfect comfort food for this soldier who’s feeling a little run down by the battle of life. I make it sound so dramatic. Really just have a mild case of the stomach flu.
I made this with barley instead of the wild rice called for in the recipe. Worked a charm.

Oh, and feel better. I’m battling upcoming root canal related pain and two very bruised and scraped kneed from falling off a curb yesterday so I DO feel your pain.

I hope you feel better soon! I do know how healing soups like that can be, especially now at the turn of the weather. Those big pearls of chewy barley must be like a big warm hug…
