Chicken Barley Soup is among the most favorite soup dishes and indeed the mos delicious. The thick soup is served in formal ceremonies. Instead of milk you can apply chicken stock or gravy, which is different in taste and not White Soup any more!
Ingredients:
Serves 4 to 6
100 g rolled oats
1 medium carrot, grated
4 to 6 chicken wings, boiled
3 cups chicken stock
60 g butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1/2 liter milk
100 ml cream
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper powder for seasoning
Directions:
Soak rolled oats and strain. Put inside a pot filled with 1 whole liter of water and cook 10 minutes on low heat. Add in grated carrots and pour in chicken stock and continue cooking 20 more minutes till carrots are soft.
In a small pot, set on medium heat, melt butter. Sprinkle in the white flour and mix. After 1 minute pour in milk and keep stirring till you get thick sauce.
Remove the bones from the chicken pieces and add into the pot along with the white sauce. If the soup is very thick, you can add in a little boiling water. Season to taste with salt and powdered black pepper. Stir in the cream. 1 or 2 minutes before removing the pot add in the chopped parsley. This way you will preserve its color.
A Few Cooking Points:
You can substitute chicken stock with gravy or vegetables stock.
Do not overcook the rolled oat or it will crush.
If you add fried chopped onion at the beginning , your soup will get a thicker consistency.
