soup

Today I made some soup. It was supposed to be bean and barley, but oh the joys of cooking abroad, I ended up with orzo instead of barley, doh! It tasted pretty good, but the orzo was overcooked by the time the carrots were fully cooked.

It was also my first time using dried beans, so even though I soaked them overnight, they along with the orzo managed to soak up almost all of the broth. Well at least for next time I know all these things. Plus, now I can actually find some barley to use instead of the pasta.
