Petes flu defeating Chicken Broth


Take this germs!!


50g pearl barley
50g green lentils
4 small onions
4 cloves of garlic
Chicken (as much as you want preferably with the carcass)
4 large potatoes
dried shitake mushrooms to taste
6 bay leaves
2 Chicken oxo cubes (or other stock)

Cook your pearl barley and lentils as per the packet instructions until soft.
Chop your Onions and garlic roughly and soften in a large pan. Once slightly soft add your chicken cut into nice chunks. If you have the carcass put this in as well. Chop your potatoes into cubes the same size as the chicken and add along with the pearl barley and lentils and bay leaves. Add a couple of chicken oxo cubes and cover with water. Add the dried shitake mushrooms about half an hour before you serve. Leave to slowly simmer for as long as possible. Remember to take out the chicken carcass and bay leaves before you serve!

I recommend loads of soda bread, generously buttered!
