Number of Servings: 7

Ingredients

    12 c chicken broth (i made my own)
    4lb stewing chicken, cooked, skinned and deboned
    1/2 c barley
    1c chopped carrots
    2c chopped celery
    1c chopped onion
    1 box Ronzoni Smart Taste wheat Rotini

Directions

Slow cooker the chicken, onion, celery & carrots. When the chicken is done let it cool then bone it. I put the stock in the frig overnight and let the fat harden so I can remove it.

Next day I boil the stock with the barley until it is almost soft then add the rotini, then bring back to a boil for 10 minutes and add the chicken back in.. let simmer for 15 minutes and it's ready to serve.

I like to add dried garlic slices & chives to crock pot stock but this a personal preference

makes 7 or 8 servings, maybe more depending on your preferred serving size.

The sodium count is Sparks and they probably figure it is canned chicken stock, mine is not.
