How to cook deliciously - Chicken Barley Soup
1. Stage
Fill a large stockpot with 8 cups water, and cook the chicken until fully cooked and tender. Cool the broth, and skim off the fat. Set the chicken aside until it's cool enough to handle. Editor's Tip: Bring the chicken and water to a boil first, then lower the heat to simmer the chicken.
2. Stage
Remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones, and cut the meat into cubes.
3. Stage
Return the meat to the stockpot. Add the carrots, celery, barley, onion, bouillon, salt, bay leaf, poultry seasoning, pepper and sage. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for about one hour, until the vegetables and barley are tender. Discard the bay leaf before serving.
