"NOTE Since soup often makes a bowl lunch or evening meal for me I use the full amount of barley, as a starter soup you may want to use less. Sorting through my recipe books I finally found the yellowed clipping of one of our favourite chicken soups, posting to assure that doesn’t happen again. I remember being a little skeptical at the time when it came to adding ginger and turmeric and soon found turmeric is not just for pickles! We love this chicken soup and love that it is freezer friendly. I freeze the extra servings in the screw top freezer containers using the four cup for family and single serving for my lunch or a light supper. Stays as fresh as the day they were made! As I do when making most chicken soups I usually snip in Italian or curly parsley."
