GARLICKY BARLEY VEGETABLE CHICKEN SOUP FOR ONE OR TWO



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.
