8 cups chicken broth
2-4 cups cooked, chopped chicken pieces
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1-2 cups diced onion
2 teaspoons salt (if not using bouillion as part of broth)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup pearl barley
Combine all ingredients except rice and barley in a large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to a high simmer for 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. Add rice and barley and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer until rice and barley are cooked to your taste (30-60 minutes more).
Serve and enjoy!
