I found this recipe on the internet and it is absolutely delicious! A nice, thick soup that is hearty and filling with just the right amount of spice. Convenient, as most of the ingredients are probably in your pantry. Read more Great for a cold day, just slice up some crusty bread (don't forget the butter) and enjoy! See less
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. bulk Italian sausage, mild or hot - your choice (I use mild) shopping list
- 1 med. onion, chopped shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/3 c. uncooked pearl barley shopping list
- 8 c. chicken broth shopping list
- 1/2 c. fresh parsley, minced (or use 2 TBSP. dried) shopping list
- 1 lb. raw, skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 4 small - you can also use skin-on bone-in breasts) shopping list
- 1 c. uncooked lentils shopping list
- 1 - 10 oz. can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) shopping list
- 1 - 12 oz. jar mild salsa shopping list
- 1 lb. fresh spinach, washed well, roots and coarse leaves discarded, chopped (you can also use baby spinach - I actually use a 10 oz. box of frozen chopped spinach and just dump it in frozen) shopping list
How to make it
- In 5 - 6 quart stock pot, brown sausage over medium-high heat; stirring and breaking up with a spoon. Remove sausage from pan and set aside.
- Add onion, garlic, and barley to drippings. Cook, stirring often, until onion is softened and barley is toasted.
- Add chicken broth, parsley, chicken breasts, and lentils. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on medium low heat until breast is white in the thickest part, about 30 minutes.
- Remove breasts, and let rest until cool enough to handle (If using skin-on bone-in breasts, remove skin and bones from meat and discard) Shred meat and return to pan.
- Drain garbanzo beans; add to soup with salsa and reserved sausage.
- Heat to simmering.
- Add spinach to soup and heat through. Serve.

My kind of soup! I love lentil soup alone and barley alone - who would think to combine the two! Great post and can't wait to make it. Sounds like a 5 for me!
