DH was a bit weary of this one but he really enjoyed it!! I could have sworn I had pearl barley in the pantry but when I went to make this I couldn't find it. I was going to try buckwheat groats but I've never actually cooked with them so I went with brown rice instead. I did add more liquid as we let this in the crock pot all most all day. Thanks for such a unique recipe MagpieDiner!! Made for Veg*n Swap 26!!

Although I don't have a slow cooker, I thought this would probably cook well, simmering all afternoon on a slow Saturday, and so it did. Chock full of health, this produced a thick aromatic broth, and the curry paste (I used a yellow Thai curry paste) lends a subtle heat that lingers on the tongue, absolutely delicious. This would be marvellous on a cool autumn or wintry evening, absolute comfort food! I made double the amount, since I wanted to freeze some for DHs lunches, and although I didn't add the optional coconut milk or lime leaves, I can see that they would enhance this already aromatic and satisfying soup. Magpie, I have come to trust your excellent recipes, thank you for another winner. This one made for PAC Spring 2009
