Southwestern Chicken Barley Soup Recipe
Southwestern Chicken Barley Soup

This is a very comforting soup with barley, corn and black beans. I usually make my own chicken stock from skinless chicken breast with my favorite low or no salt taco seasoning. I de-bone the meat, dice or shred and put back in with the remaining ingredients. I rinse and drain the canned black beans and use stewed tomatoes as we like their flavor best but if you want more spice use some with more peppers in it. This soup also freezes well for those meals needed in a hurry. Cooking time will vary depending on how long the chicken in simmered to make the stock. The remainder of the cooking time is for the barley to cook to desired doneness.
