Method1. Chop the onion finely2. Trim, clean and chop the leeks and celery 3. Peel the turnip and potato and cut into cubes (about 1/2 cm or 1/4 inch square) 4. Gently sweat the onion and celery till the onion is softened. Now add the rest of the vegetables and coat with fat. There will look as if there are far too many leeks but they reduce down. 5. Add the stock and the pearl barley and bring the mixture up to the boil. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pearl barley is cooked. 6. Shred the chicken. Add to the soup and heat through. Serve garnished with chopped parsley and crusty bread. | |||||||||||||||||||
