Chicken And Pearl Barley Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cook chicken in water until tender. Cool broth and skim off fat. Set chicken aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones; discard bones and cut meat into cubes. Return meat to pan along with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour or until vegetables and barley are tender. Discard bay leaf.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook until just tender, about 8 minutes. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until chicken is opaque at edges, about 2 minutes.
• Add broth and thyme and bring to a boil. Stir in barley. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until barley is tender and chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add spinach and cook until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil and saute the leeks, carrot, garlic and celery until starting to soften.
• Dice up the chicken and add to the vegetables, fry for another couple of minutes.
• Add the cooked barley and broth and bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Pour half the soup into a food processor and blend until smooth, then return to the pot and add the chopped parsley.
• Season to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Combine water, chicken thighs, and bay leaves in a large stock pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool. Remove and discard bones, skin, and fat from chicken. Cut remaining meat into bite-sized pieces.
• Cool broth until the fat congeals on the surface. Skim and discard fat.
• Return soup to heat; add carrots, celery, onion, pearl barley, bay leaves, chicken bouillon, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, place cover on the pot, and simmer until the barley is cooked and the vegetables are tender, 60 to 90 minutes. Stir lemon juice into the soup just before serving.

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to boil in large pot over medium heat; add pearl barley, mushrooms, carrots, celery and onion and simmer for 25 minutes; add potato and simmer 15 minutes longer, or until barley is tender; add chicken, herbs and lemon juice to soup; season to taste; simmer 5 minutes; if you like a thinner soup, thin with some more chicken broth.
• Note: If you want a'richer' soup, add up to 1/2 cup olive oil to the stock.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the carrots and leek, then saute over a medium heat for 4 mins. Add the stock, pearl barley, chicken and potatoes and season well.
• 2. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20-25 mins or until the pearl barley and carrots are tender. Stir in the cooked vegetables, return to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Stir in the parsley and season to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.
