We had some good friends over the other week and were fortunate that their quick visit turned into a longer visit with more time to catch up with each other (thanks to the blizzard we were in the middle of). I made this for dinner one night and it was delish! Very simple to put together too, even after having to boil a frozen solid chunk of chicken for the soup (thanks microwave for not working!). We ate this with some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. The perfect meal during not so perfect weather.

1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1/2 cup medium pearl barley
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chiles, drained
1 T chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 4 minutes or until tender. Add 3 cups water, corn, beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, broth, barley, chiles, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 45 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is heated through and barley is tender.

I made this tonight and also had grilled cheese. Nice and easy to throw in a pot and then watch american idol with winston. we liked it a lot. I kept it a little chunkier by not adding as much water.
