Barley Soup
1 cup of quick cooking barley
1 cup of cubed roasted chicken (Tyson’s packaged chicken is great and easy to handle)
1/2 cup of chopped cauliflower
1/2 cup of chopped broccoli
1/2 cup of chopped carrots
1 medium onion chopped
1 cup of diced tomatoes
3 cups of low sodium vegetable broth
1 medium bell pepper (red, green or orange works)
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chicken boullion
1 tablespoon oil
Directions
In a medium size pot, heat oil and brown the chicken for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and Barley then cook for about 5 minutes before adding the browned chicken, 2 cups of low sodium vegetable broth and 3 cups of water. Add the boullion, salt and pepper and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken and barley are cooked.
This soup came out better than I expected, I now have two great Barley recipes. I hope that you love it as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by and I would love to hear your feedback on this recipe if you try it out
