  1. Once you are done with your roast chicken dinner and are cleaning the kitchen anyway, it's time to start the soup
  2. Chop up all the remaining chicken, cleaning all the meat off the bones and place in fridge until morning.
  3. Take the now clean chicken bones and combine them with the first 6 ingredients in your crock pot and cook on low overnight.
  4. Chop up your vegetables and place in the fridge overnight.
  5. In the morning, remove all the chicken bones and flavorings from the crock pot.
  6. Place your vegetables, barley, and extra stock powder flavoring (if wanted, I really like a darn flavorful stock) into the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.
  7. Mix in the chicken to heat up, then serve,
