Full of Flavor!!! And so YUMMY!!! A fairly quick, simple and hearty soup! I've made many barley soups over the years, but tonight I just decided to wing it, writing things down as I went. Turned out great so I had to post it. Enjoy! :o)

Ingredients

1/2 c butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 stalk(s) celery, diced
1 1/2 c thickly sliced carrots
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
1/2 tsp each sea salt and pepper

4 c water
1/2 - 3/4 c barley
3 raw chicken breast, cubed
sea salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. In a 4 qt pan over medium high heat add butter and olive oil, when butter is melted and bubbly add onions, celery, carrots and mushrooms. Cook stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes then add salt, pepper, garlic, thyme and tomato paste. Continue to cook 3 more minutes then add broth, water and barley. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 30-40 minutes. Add in chicken and simmer another 15 minutes. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy! :o)
2. *I buy tomato paste in a tube, so I can add a touch of it here and there to dishes I make. It can be found by the canned tomato sauces.
