Here is how you make Country Chicken and Vegetable Soup:

Place chicken, water, and 2 whole carrots-with ends cut off, 1 onion-quartered, 2 celery ribs, 2 tsps salt & 1/2 tsp pepper into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, skimming off foam as it accumulates. Reduce heat, cover and cook until chicken begins to fall from the bones, about 2 hours.Remove chicken. Discard vegetables, return broth to pot. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones. Chop meat into bite size pieces.If possible, make soup to this point a day ahead. Cover and refridgerate broth and chicken separately. Fat will congeal on top of the broth when chilled and can be removed before proceeding with the soup. If not making ahead, skim fat from top of broth.To prepare to eat, return broth pot to the stove, add seasonings; and bring to a simmer. Add celery, carrots, cabbage, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, and beans to the pot and return to simmer. Cook about 10-15 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, barley, and shredded chicken to pot; cook 15-20 minutes more to heat through.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHARLINK.
