Granny Karate'S 'Korean' Chicken Remedy Soup (For The Bachelor'S Lady'S Cold)

• 2 whole chicken breasts - about 1 lb.
• 3 celery stalks, cleaned and chopped
• 2 carrots, cleaned, peeled and chopped
• 1 1/2 yellow onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon whole allspice
• 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
• 6 tablespoons pearl barley, rinsed
• 1/2 bunch of fresh parsley, leaves removed. Keep the stems.
• 1 -3 dashes coconut aminos, soy sauce or tamari
• 10 cups chicken broth (I use Imagine brand, plus a combination of 1-2 cups of frozen leftover homemade chicken stock if I have it on hand)
• 2 small bay leaves
• 1/3 cup kimchee per serving, as garnish

1. Prepare all the ingredients and have them in place.
2. Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepot and bring to a boil.
3. Place the chicken breasts, spices, chopped vegetables and parsley stems into the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, simmer for 30 minutes
4. Remove chicken from the broth; slice or shred, and place chicken back in broth.
5. Drain the rinsed barley and place in the soup.
6. Boil gently for 1 hour and remove from heat.
7. Ladle desired amount of soup into individual serving bowls. I put a ladle of soup into a strainer over the bowl and fish out the peppercorns and allspice. Then I throw the chicken and vegetables into the bowl. Top with 1/3 cup of chopped up kimchee, a dash or two of coconut aminos and some chopped parsley leaves.
