Chicken Barley Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 5 cups diced red potatoes
  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 2 1/2 quarts chicken broth
  • 1 cup quick-cooking barley
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Arrange the slivered almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they cover the entire surface.
3
Toast the almonds in the preheated oven until they turn a beautiful golden color and fill the air with a delicious aroma.
4
In a large cooking vessel, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions, celery, mushrooms, and garlic in the oil until the onions become tender.
5
Add carrots, potatoes, chicken, and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then stir in barley. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
6
Remove the pot from the heat source and stir in butter, parsley, and toasted almonds. Season with salt and pepper according to your personal preference.
