Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450F (230C). Toss the carrots, parsley roots, onion, garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, pepper corns and allspice with the oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally until tender and browned, 35 minutes.

Step 2

While the vegetables roast, cook the barley. Bring 360ml water to a boil. Season with salt and add the barley. Cook, covered, over low heat until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the roasted vegetables, spices and barley to a large pot. Add 2 litres water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the soup is deeply brown. Stir in the cream. Season with salt and ground pepper.
