"The next time you're having a roast chicken, this soup is the ideal thing for the next day. Use the chicken bones to make a delicious fresh chicken stock, the last bits of chicken meat and any leftover vegetables like potatoes or peas - all can be stirred in. Pearl barley thickens the soup and makes it really hearty too. It's a delicious, warming soup for any time of year."
