Recipe | Chicken and Barley Soup

So a few weeks back I fell sick, and I loathe chicken noodle soup with a passion. I often had stomach problems as a child, and I feel like I just ate it a lot and now I'm sick of it. I attempted to eat a bowl, when I was sick, and could barely stomach it. I wanted something fairly bland and easy to deal with since I was having some *ahem* stomach problems.

I fell upon this ridiculously easy soup, and I didn't take a single picture because I was sick and quite frankly...I forgot.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3/4 cup barley
• 48 oz low sodium chicken broth
• 1 16oz bag of frozen mixed veggies
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Put everything in crockpot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
• Before serving, shred chicken.

That is it! If you fall ill with the stomach flu, this is a great break from traditional chicken noodle! What is your favorite thing to eat when you are sick?
