Roasted squash and miso soup with pearl barley and cavolo nero
Recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi · original post · full recipe on ottolenghi.co.uk
A light yet filling autumn soup, built around a whole roasted squash, scooped straight into the bowl so its flesh melts into a miso-and-barley broth. A chilli-flecked walnut oil, made in the pan, gets spooned over at the end. We used pearl barley, but fregola works just as well - serve with lemon wedges.
