Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 carrots, diced small
4 celery stalks, diced small
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 sprigs thyme
1 cup quick-cooking barley
5 ounces baby spinach (5 cups)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook until just tender, about 8 minutes. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until chicken is opaque at edges, about 2 minutes.
  • Add broth and thyme and bring to a boil. Stir in barley. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until barley is tender and chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add spinach and cook until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I omitted the barley from the soup. It was still very filling and satisfying.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is a great base recipe. I like to add different vegetables and spices to it to make it my own.

The soup was a little too thick for my liking. I would add more broth next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it didn't overpower the other flavors.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken from dinner, and this soup is a great way to use it up.
