Ingredients
1. 7 oz of chopped chicken ( I used dark because I was deboning a chicken I had cooked and we already ate the breast in a previous meal)2. 2 lg carrots, chopped3. 3 celery stalks, chopped4. 1 can of 98% fat free mushroom soup5. 5 cubes chicken bouillon6. 6-7 cups water (more or less depending upon how thick you like your soup)7. 2 red potatoes - med size chopped (leave peel on)8. 3/4 cup of 10 min quick cook barley oats9. can add any additional spices you might like, I didn't add any and it still had a great flavor10. can add any additional veggies that you like too, I added mushrooms (canned) and that was good too.
Directions
Put mushroom soup in pan with water on med/high heat. Put in all chopped veggies, barley, chicken bouillon. Cook about 30 minutes or until veggies are soft. The soup will thicken because of the barley and make a yummy thick soup. Makes 8 - 1 cup servings (serving size could be larger if you added more water and it was less thick)

    Mmm - really good. Everyone loved it! As you say you can just throw in anything you've got. I actually added some chunks of chorizo that I had in the fridge and upped the calories. Healthy - easy - delicious - low calory. Genius!! - 2/14/10
