Yummy heart healthy soup and an award!!

In honor of the fact that we FINALLY finished up with our BARLEY harvest (we still have wheat, flax and sunflowers to go) I decided to cook up a big, old pot of heart healthy

CHICKEN BARLEY CHILI.

Not only is barley a great source of fiber it

is also low fat with no saturated fat or cholesterol!!

1-14.5 oz Diced tomatoes

16 oz. Salsa

2 cups fat free chicken broth

1 cup quick cooking Barley

3 cups of water

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1-15 oz. can northern beans

3 cups chicken breast diced

In a soup kettle combine the first 7 ingredients. Over high

heat bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer

20 minutes, stirring occassionally. Add beans and

chicken, increase heat to high until the chili

comes to a boil. Simmer for another few minutes

until the barley is tender. If desired, top with low fat

cheese and or sour cream. It tastes great just as is!! Chicken Barley Chili

that's what's for supper in

Farmchick's Kitchen

tonight!!!!
