Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup
- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 chicken breast half (skin on, bone in)
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 red onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1⁄2 cup barley (I use white pearl barley)
- 1 sweet potato, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- salt and pepper
directions
- In a heavy covered pot saute the onion, garlic and the carrots in the olive oil.
- Once they have reached a golden brown color, add the chicken breast to the pot. Cover the pot contents with water.
- Add the barley and the seasoned salt and cook over medium low heat until the chicken is tender- the slower you cook it the more tender it will be- about 40 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot. When it is cool enough to handle, remove the chicken meat from the bone and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Discard the bone and skin.
- Put the chicken back into the pot and add the sweet potato. You may need to add a little more water at this point to make sure that all the ingredients are covered.
- Cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender. Adjust the seasonings to your taste and enjoy!

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
