Ultimate Chicken Soup
When we say this is the ultimate chicken soup, we mean it. This chicken soup has so much flavor it will blow your mind. We use a whole head of garlic (trust us on this one) and simmer the soup until the chicken and barley cook to perfection.
Featured Ingredients
The ingredients for this flavorful chicken soup are all ingredients we usually have at home. Here are some more details on some of the featured ingredients Garlic- a whole head of garlic is used in this soup. Use all of your best garlic tricks to peel and mince the garlic before adding it to the soup. Chicken Breast: Chicken breast is a lean protein that is lower in calories, but high in protein. You can always swap out the breasts for thighs or even omit to make this recipe vegetarian. Veggies: this chicken soup calls for all the classic chicken soup veggies: carrot, celery, garlic, and onion. Other veggies that would work well in this recipe are potato, sweet potato, parsnip, or squash. Chicken Broth: while you can make your own homemade chicken broth, we’re keeping things simple with store-bought chicken broth. An option here is to swap your chicken broth out for vegetable broth or even beef broth if that’s what you have. Barley: we skipped the noodles and used barley for a nice bite. Barley also adds a delicious creaminess to this chicken soup. Lemon: Not every chicken soup recipe calls for fresh lemon, but let me tell you, this is a game-changer. A bit of citrus goes a long way, and a hint of lemon is wonderful in this soup.
