Steps:

  • Cook whole chicken in pressure cooker with 2 litres water, 1 tbsp salt and 2 bay leaves for 30 to 40 minutes at 15lb pressure.
  • Remove chicken carefully into colander with a tray underneath to catch the drips, but reserve stock in pressure cooker. Discard bay leaves. Leave chicken until cool enough to handle.
  • While waiting for the chicken to cool, put vegetables, barley, herbs and spices into remaining stock and pressure cook at 15lbs for 10 minutes. Stir well in case barley has clumped.
  • Remove skin from cooled chicken and de-bone. Pull chicken meat into large shreds.
  • Add any collected stock from drip tray to pressure cooker along with the shredded chicken. Stir well and taste for seasoning. You may need to add more water if it doesn't seem soupy enough or flavour is too concentrated, but not too much. Heat thoroughly before serving. Gets better with keeping.
