Chicken, Barley and Mushroom Soup image

One of my all-time favourite soups, this is rich and very tasty. No one needs to know that it's healthy! You really should use the chicken thighs because it contributes a lot to the flavour and richness. Enjoy!

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The flavors are amazing.

I didn't have any barley so I used rice instead. The soup was still good, but the rice didn't have the same texture as the barley.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the barley and mushrooms and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it was perfect! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I roast a chicken and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.
