Spring onions are those that have been harvested early-they look like scallions with large white bulbs. If they're unavailable, use Vidalia onions. Rotini (corkscrew pasta) will work in place of fusilli.
This soup actually warmed me to the core and the flavor was just incredible. It is a perfect dish for cold winter nights, and if you use the quick cooking barley, you can even make this as an easy weeknight meal.
Spring rolls, summer rolls, fresh rolls, salad rolls, rice paper rolls . . . whatever you call them, these are one of my favorite foods. I order them as an appetizer every time I see them on a menu...
