Chicken-Barley Soup Recipe

  Soup

Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken parts
2 quarts chicken broth*
1 1/2 cups diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup barley
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper*
1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves (not ground)

Directions:
In large pot, cover chicken parts with chicken broth. *(Back when I could get a good flavorful boiling chicken, I used water, but now I use Swanson's chicken broth to pep up the flavor.) Cook about 30 minutes or until done. Cool broth and skim off any fat. Cool chicken pieces; remove skin and bones and cut into bite-size pieces. Return chicken to pot. Add remaining ingredients. *(Pepper may be decreased to 1/4 teaspoon, if desired.) Bring to boil; lower heat, cover and simmer for about 1 1/2-hours. Adjust seasonings if necessary and remove bay leaf.
1 1/2 quarts; 5 servings.
