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.'"

Delicious! I made a lot of small changes that worked well for me. Instead of corn I used golden hominy. I used 4 cups of chicken broth and one cup of water, and I didn't drain any of the canned ingredients. I ommitted the tomato sauce as well. I also used quick barley and only simmered for 25-30 minutes. I resisted the urge to add any salt to this, and I'm glad I resisted! I did add some extra chili powder and cumin though, because we like a heavy flavoring. But I think it would be great as written.

This is a great base recipe. I added a few more things to it when I made it. I added chopped carrots and celery and 2 Tbsp of fresh ginger. I added a tsp of dried rosemary, tsp of oregano, a tsp of thyme and 1.5 Tbsp of Tandoori Masala powder(can find in Indian shops or international food aisle in grocery store). I also used a combination of low sodium chicken and beef broths at 1.5 cups each instead of the can of chicken broth and 3 cups of water. I made the soup in the morning and let it sit on the stove throughout the day. When reheating it, I added another 3/4 cup of broth, as the soup thickened over the course of the day. This soup had so much more flavour after letting it sit. My family absolutely LOVED it. I had a request to make this dish everyday.

Very good soup! I did need to swap kidney beans for black beans and chopped jalapeno's instead of chili's so that I didn't have to go to the grocery store. Made it for dinner for company, everyone enjoyed it, we added tortilla chips instead of crackers and had some velveeta/salsa dip on the side, some mixed that into the soup too.

This stew came together wonderfully! A can of Ro-Tel tomatoes can be subbed for separate cans of tomatoes and green chilis. I served with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top- it was a huge hit!

This was easy to put together and great for a large gathering! I added a 15 oz can of salsa (I used medium) instead of the diced tomatoes and it added a delicious tang to it.

I made this after Thanksgiving with Turkey stock and turkey meat. I kept all the other ingredients the same and it made a fantastic soup. Such a great flavor! This was a welcome change from the normal turkey noodle soup! Thanks Kell!

This soup was really yummy! It wasn't too spicy but still had some kick. Next time I might try using rice and some crushed tortilla chips.

This was really good! As another reviewer mentioned- I didn't drain all of the ingredients as directed either, just to add a little bit more flavor. I didn't have pearl barely and didn't want to bother going to the store, and I didn't substitute anything for it either (I think it was fine without it). I added a 4 oz can of diced jalapenos (my husband loves spicy food) and topped it with cheddar cheese!! I also served it with jalapeno flavored tostito chips, yummmm!
