Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and the barley. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the barley is tender. Drain and rinse in a colander. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, stir together the chicken, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, leaving the remaining soup in the pan. Set the chicken aside.
- Stir the tomatoes with liquid, zucchini, and yellow squash into the soup. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the zucchini and yellow squash are tender. Meanwhile, dice the chicken. When the squashes are tender, stir the chicken, barley, and spinach into the soup. Cook for 2 minutes, or just until the spinach wilts. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice.
