Caraway in Soup!

I made the following soup, and in the middle, it occurred to me to throw in 1/2 a teaspoon of caraway seeds! I had been reading my Estonian cookbook the last night.

I would say the soup I made was not the best, but it's a starter for your own caraway-licious ideas. Caraway is good for digestion, and adds a special something to your palate!

IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD CARAWAY BEFORE, DON'T BUY LOTS OF IT. FIRST,
1) smell it
2) put 1/2 tsp into a cup and add 1 c boiling water. Steep 10 minutes. Drink the tea, get some health and see if you like it.
3) If you don't like it, don't use it. But try it again sometime!

BEEF SOUP WITH CARAWAY FLAIR
organic beef broth
1 onion, chopped
4 large leaves bok choy, bite-size pieces
1 tsp/1-2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 c pearl barley
sliced daikon radish (it was about the size of a big carrot, or a small daikon.)
1/2 tsp caraway seeds

Put it all in there and bring to a boil! Then simmer it for a while. Be careful because it can get very foamy; you may have to stir occasionally and leave a little vent. When the barley is tender, it's done.

This is the quick-and-dirty way, not refined at all, but good for a college night of finals writing.
