Barley and Apple Chicken soup, and awards

I cook Chinese barley sweet soup at least 1-2 times in a week, as I know barley water is good for our kidney and bladder cleanse. If one has urine acid problem, barley water can be used as a therapeutic water. This time instead of sweet version, I cooked salted version and I added some fresh apples into it.

I am a huge fan of pearl barley but have never used Chinese barley. I will have to give it a shot. Nice use of apples as well.

Big Boys Oven said...

definitely a very healthy soup! :)

Little Corner of Mine said...

I can certainly try this soup as I have all the ingredients at home now, even the Chinese barley! I don't really like the Chinese barley for sweet drink, more suitable for soup I think.

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Dear all, Thanks for stopping by and your lovely words.

tigerfish said...

I have been wanting to try a barley chicken stew for the longest time now! But I have not even bought my barley...:(

minibaker said...
