Chicken Barley Soup/Stew

1. 1

   ["Start preparing the Rice-a-Roni as instructed on the box. As the rice is browning in the butter, throw in the onion and celery. Let it saute until they start to break down a bit.", "Once the rice is browned and the veggies are softened, pour in the chicken broth, flavor packet from the Rice-a-Roni, cream of mushroom soup, barley, chicken, and mushrooms (with the liquid from the can). (I do NOT like mushrooms so I leave this ingredient out!) Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Then cover and let simmer for about an hour.", "This was originally intended as a ""use up the leftovers"" soup, but as it simmers, the rice and barley drink up the liquid and it gets quite thick. So, it's more of a stew. If you prefer it to be thinner, add more water or chicken broth.", "Serves 4 to 6 depending on how hungry you are. Freezes well."]
