Hearty Chicken and Barley Soup
Report
Hearty Chicken and Barley Soup with lots of vegetables, a healthy, low calorie, quick and easy soup for those chilly days, although it's light enough to be enjoyed throughout the year. Best made with leftover or rotisserie chicken, this soup is a favourite with kids too, who will love the colourful veggies added to the soup.
