Whether paired with chicken, mushrooms or beef, perfectly plump barley is a wonderful addition to soups. I don’t let soup season pass without at least a few barley<\/a> soup recipes<\/a> in the mix. Chicken barley soup is my favorite rendition. Slightly lighter than beef barley soup<\/a> or mushroom barley soup<\/a>, it has all the flavors of classic chicken soup recipes<\/a> plus a creamy, toothsome grain.<\/p>\n

The first part of this recipe is to cut a whole chicken<\/a> and cook it in water to create the soup’s stock base. From there, the additional ingredients are added to the stock, and in about an hour, the vegetables and barley are softened to al dente. Enjoy this soup straight off the stove, or make it ahead for an easy, hearty meal ready to go.<\/p>\n
