Southwestern Chicken Barley Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Kell Ferrell

"Kell Ferell of Alamo, North Dakota drives 80 miles round-trip every day for her job, so she needs quick, healthy dishes to fix for her family. 'This is a huge favorite,' she pens. 'If I don't have leftover chicken, I simply boil or poach some chicken breasts. I use the cooking liquid to replace part of the water in the recipe to add even more flavor.'"
