Introduction

This is adapted from BH&G recipe in October 2010 issue, but replacing andouille sausage with crisped, drained bacon which keeps the smokey flavor but reduces the fat by over 14 grams, while keeping the fiber over 7 grams. I also reduced the amount of barley, and replaced chicken broth granules with actual chicken stock, upping the flavor quotient, and reducing the salt a bit.
