Scottish Leek and Chicken Soup
Ingredients
  • 4 pounds chicken thighs, bone in, skin removed
  • 10 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup barley
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth
  • 7 medium leeks, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, thickly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging the chicken into a substantial container, followed by pouring in a generous amount of water and adding sliced onions and pearl barley.
2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over extremely high heat, then gradually decrease the intensity of the heat to a low simmer for 1 hour.
3
Next, utilize tongs to carefully relocate the chicken from the pot to a cutting board. Discard any excess skin and bones, then chop the remaining meat into small, manageable pieces before returning it to the pot.

Meanwhile, incorporate a concentrated broth, chopped leeks, diced celery, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme into the pot. Continue to cook until the vegetables have become tender, approximately 30 minutes.
