Slow Cooker Chicken, Barley, Vegetable Soup image

This is a clear chicken or turkey broth using left-over chicken or turkey with vegetables and barley. Since barley is a grain, I often eat this soup for breakfast instead of cereal. That way I get a headstart on my daily quota of vegetables too.

Garlicky Barley Vegetable Chicken Soup for One or Two image

This is from the new Cinch Yourself cookbook. I can all my own tomatoes and I think that gives this dish a little extra great taste. This is a great dish for leftover barley. It will require more time if you have to cook the barley.
