Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken thighs, bone in, skin removed
  • 10 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup barley
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth
  • 7 medium leeks, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, thickly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped

Directions

Step 1
Place chicken into a large pot; pour in water and add onion and barley. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

Step 2
Use tongs to transfer chicken to a cutting board. Discard skin and bones; chop meat into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.

Step 3
Add condensed broth, leeks, celery, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.

Tips

One pound of peeled, cubed potatoes can be used instead of barley if desired.
