From midgelet 14 years agoIngredients
- 8 large chicken legs and thighs - (or about 4 to 5 lbs chicken parts ) shopping list
- water to cover over chicken in pot shopping list
- 3 cups cooked pearl barley shopping list
- 3 large red bell peppers shopping list
- 3 large green bell peppers shopping list
- 3 large onions shopping list

- 1 thick rib of leek shopping list
- 3 large carrots shopping list
- salt, pepper, thyme to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Skin chicken parts and cover with water and cook until tender.
- Skim off any foam when cooking.
- Remove chicken to cool and strain broth.
- Shred or cut up cooled chicken.
- You could also do all of this this ahead of time and also chill broth and remove any accumulated fat.
- Coarse cube vegetables. In a very large stock pot, heat some olive oil and cook vegetables several minutes to release flavors.
- Add the chicken broth, cooked chicken, cooked barley and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil and cook on low simmer, covered until vegetables are tender; about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Correct seasonings.
- To keep as a soup make sure there is enough broth since the barley will tend to absorb any liquid.
- This dish will be more stew like if allowed to be thickened by the barley.
- Makes about a gallon or over 12 servings.
- Prortion out servings in freezer containers and freeze what you want.
