Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Pounds Chicken Breasts Without Skin
2 Quarts Water
1/2 Cup Pearled Barley
1 Large Onion -- Chopped
2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Paprika
1 Bay Leaf
1 Cup Carrots -- Sliced
1/2 Cup Celery -- Chopped
8 Ounces Mushrooms -- Sliced
10 Ounces Peas, frozen
Fresh Parsley

Combine chicken thighs, water, barley, onion, poultry seasoning, salt,
pepper, paprika and bay leaf in a dutch oven. Bring to boil. Cover,
reduce heat and simmer until chicken is fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
Remove chicken; skim fat brom broth unless you're planning to chill the
finished soup overnight. The chilled fat could be lifted off just before
reheating.

Cool chicken; remove meat from bones and dice. Set aside. Add
carrots, celery and mushrooms to broth. Cover; simmer 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Return diced chicken to soup and peas and parsley.
Discard bay leaf; Cook until soup is heated through.
