JuicyFruit - We really enjoyed the texture of this hearty, filling, and nutritious soup .. But next time I'm going to try adding some spices and maybe tomato paste to give an extra boost of flavour .. Thanks for sharing it farfallina.
I defrosted one of my two leftover portions of this and heated it up with a teaspoon of Tomato Puree, Mango Chutney, and Curry Powder .. Oh My Goodness it was delicious!

cecilia - Many thanks farfallina.  An easy and nourishing winter meal. Doing it on reverse allows all those interesting textures too.

crompo - I didn't have any buckwheat so I used Pearl Barley instead.  OH is taking it to work for lunch tomorrow.  I am not a huge soup fan in general, but this looks and smells great.  Thanks for the recipe.

My Thermo arrived to day and this soup was one of the first things I made.  I didn't have any buckwheat (I thought I did but I was wrong) so I used Pearl Barley instead.  OH is taking it to work for lunch tomorrow.  I am not a huge soup fan in general, but this looks and smells great.  Thanks for the recipe.
