An amazing healthy comfort soup with kale, chicken, barley, carrots and onion. It's perfect and a winner for sure. I hope your family will enjoy it as much as my family and friends did!
Ingredients
1 chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
1/4 cup barley
5 cups water
3 cups chicken broth
2 celery stalks (chopped)
2 carrots (sliced)
1 onion (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 potatoes (chopped)
2 cups kale (chopped, I used frozen, if you use fresh, discard thick ribs)
1. Put chicken in a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Skim any foam from the surface, add barley and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 hour.
2. Chop celery, slice carrots, finely chop onion and mince garlic.
3. In a skillet, heat avocado oil. Saute celery, onion, carrots and garlic, until onions are translucent (about 7 minutes).
4. Chop potatoes.
5. Add potatoes and sauteed vegetables to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
6. Add kale, parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 15 minutes.
7. Remove chicken, shred with a fork and return to the pot. Serve hot.

I tried this recipe and loved it. I followed the recipe exactly except I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I am a soup person and am always looking for another good healthy soup recipe, this one is definitely a keeper!
