Everyone knows Beef Barley Soup - Why not Chicken Barley?
Make the stock earlier in the day, then chill to remove the fat - although using parts instead of a whole chicken, there wasn't much fat. I'd skip this step next time.
You can substitute purchased chicken stock.
This makes enough soup for 2 meals (and maybe a lunch). Serve soup with crackers (savory biscuits).
Total time: 120 minutes
You can use a whole fryer or any chicken parts to make stock. If you use a whole chicken you should have stock left to freeze for other uses. The barley that I get is (I think) partially pre-cooked so it cooks in about 20 minutes. Regular pearl barley takes about 45 minutes.

These little Crisps are quick to go together and bake in just 30 minutes. Perfect to have in the oven while you eat a leisurely dinner. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt if you like. I use small baking dishes that are about 4" (10cm) in diameter. Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady are all good apple choices.

Note: If you use individual baking dishes, put them on a baking sheet to make handling easier.
