The Best Chicken Soup Ever
Yeah, that's right. I said it. I make a MEAN chicken soup. And it's easy too. I'm sitting here surrounded by Kleenex and Tylenol Cold, enjoying yesterday's leftovers for lunch today, and realizing that I probably have some sort of social obligation to share it.Bring to a boil:
2 cans condensed chicken broth
1 cube vegetable stock
6 cans water
While the stock is heating, chop:
1 cup chicken
2 cups vegetables (onion, carrots, and celery)
Add chicken and veggies - along with 0.5 cup pearl barley - to the stock. Simmer at least an hour. Add other seasoning (thyme, poultry seasoning, pepper) to taste if you want to, but it's pretty darn good as-is.
A few notes:
- Superstore sells a really great - and inexpensive - organic chicken stock.
- Be sure to read the ingredients carefully on the vegetable stock. A shocking number of them contain MSG (ew).
- Barley expands like crazy, so 0.5 cup is lots.
