You had me at "barley", one of my favorite ingredients in soups!
And I had to chuckle at "..the Bourbon is for seasoning the chef!"😀
Anyone who makes homemade stock from poultry earns my respect -- that is tedious work and takes hours but the outcome adds magic to the resulting soup!👍🍵💫
It smelled amazing all day while he was cooking everything. He loves to cook and does not mind all the grunt work needed to make a soup like this. (Again lucky me!!) The barley does make an awesome addition to the soup. I like it much better than pasta or even rice. Thank you very much for stopping by, and I will pass your compliments on to the chef! :)
