TURKEY AND BARLEY SOUP



Turkey and Barley Soup image

This soup is SO good, hearty and soul comforting

Provided by Michelle Antonacci @Huniibeekeeper

Categories     Turkey

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 - large carrots, sliced into chunky
5 - medium red potatos , quartered and sliced into chunks
1 - onion roughly chopped
5 - celery stalks, sliced chunky
1 cup(s) pearl barley, uncooked
2 tablespoon(s) herbes de provence
- salt and pepper to taste
10 cup(s) turkey broth/stock
3 cup(s) cooked turkey, pulled into chunks

Steps:

  • I made my turkey stock from scratch but you can use store bought if you want. Put your broth in a pot and turn on medium to warm it.
  • Chop all of your veggies, I always chop mine in medium sized chunks. Add your veggies carefully to the warm broth, add your herbes de provence and salt and pepper to taste, bring this to a simmer, for about 5 minutes, then add the pearl barley and simmer on low for about an hour, stirring occasionally, or until the barley is tender and soup thickens up a bit. I add the turkey the last 5 minutes so it doesnt break up. If the broth gets too thick, especially if you have leftovers the next day, you can add a little more broth or some water. I actually like this soup better the next day.

Tips:

  • Use leftover turkey: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey from a holiday meal. But you can also use rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breast if you don't have any turkey on hand.
  • Make it a one-pot meal: This soup is easy to make in one pot, which saves time and cleanup. Simply brown the turkey or chicken in a large pot, then add the vegetables, broth, and barley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the barley is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, but you can also add any vegetables you like. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Season to taste: This soup is simple to season, but you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt and pepper if desired, or add a bay leaf or thyme sprig for extra flavor.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is hearty and filling, but it's also nice to serve it with a side of bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This turkey barley soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey from a holiday meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
