Southwestern Chicken Barley Soup image

Kell Ferell of Alamo, North Dakota drives 80 miles round-trip every day for her job, so she needs quick, healthy dishes to fix for her family. "This is a huge favorite," she pens. "If I don't have leftover chicken, I simply boil or poach some chicken breasts. I use the cooking liquid to replace part of the water in the recipe to add even more flavor."

I'm not a huge fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this soup. The barley was cooked perfectly and it added a nice texture.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was perfect!
