That was it?? Really?
So the Hurricane past us and the worst we got were some leaves in the parking lot but that didn't stop up from preparing for the worst! We had all the candles in the house ready, flashlights, and a battery operated radio just in case and of course food!. We didn't need any of it, well we needed the food.
What did we have for a nasty windy Saturday dinner? Chicken soup! It may be good for the soul but it's also good to warm you up down to your toes and make your heart smile.
2-3 chicken breasts cut into bit sized pieces.
3-4 celery stalks
1/2 onion
1 cup of peas and carrots
some fresh parsley (I'm really not sure how much)
1 1/2 boxes of chicken stock
1 cup pearl barley
Put all the ingredients except the barley and 2 cups of the chicken stock in a 4 qt crock pot and set on high for 4 hours. when the soup has cooked for the 4 hours add the barley and 2 cups of broth a 1 qt pot on the stove on medium/high heat for about 10 minutes; then add to the chicken soup. Cook for at least 1/2 hour more.
Pretty easy for a really filling happy meal! I serve it with nice thick Italian bread to sop up what's left in the bowl. Perfect for hurricanes, blizzards, freezing cold days, and any time you need an internal pick me up!
