Cock-a-Leekie soup is a Scottish soup made from chicken and leeks. I began with a recipe I found online that called for boiling a whole chicken, but my recipe ended up much quicker and easier.
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 leeks, dark green parts trimmed off, sliced
3 or 4 carrots, chopped
2 10-oz cans of chicken, drained
8 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup parcooked barley (Such as the 10 minute barley from Trader Joes)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
A generous sprinkle of dried parsley
A pinch of thyme or a sprig of fresh thyme
Olive oil for cooking
In the bottom of a large pot, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil.
Stir in the onion and cook until translucent.
Add the leeks and stir those around for a few minutes until they look sort of cooked.
Throw in the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.
Cook until the carrots and barley are soft enough.
