Illustrated interpretation from the family cookbook.
Let’s make it
Place chicken in a large pot with 8 cups water, adding more to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 45–60 minutes, until tender and at least 165°F.
Lift chicken out; let cool just enough to handle. Skim broth. Remove and discard skin and bones; cut meat into small pieces.
Return meat to broth with remaining ingredients. Cover loosely and simmer about 1 hour, until barley and vegetables are tender. Add water if needed; remove bay leaf.
