Chicken & Barley Vegetable Soup
This is an excellent soup. It is easy to make and has great
flavor. I didn't have ground chicken so took 2 skinless, boneless chicken
breasts and chopped fine and used regular barley instead of quick-cook. I
cooked this about about 90 minutes till done.

over medium heat 5 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring to break apart.
