Cock-A-Leekie soup. Apparently, this means chicken + leeks in liquid. This was made on Monday night.
- A couple pounds of chicken thighs
- The chicken thighs I bought turned out to have not been deboned. Deboning chicken thighs was not entertaining. I did remove the skin as well, which wasn't bad. The chicken got cut up in pieces
- 2 leeks
- Washed and cut up fairly thin, it turns out that 2 leeks fill up the bottom third or so of the crockpot.
- 4 or 5 (relatively wimpy) carrots.
- More wouldn't be bad.
- Chicken broth
- I also used some beef broth to get the liquid to barely get to the top of the food. Could have used a little less, since things cooked down and there was extra liquid at the end.
- Salt
- More flavor would be better. I added the salt at the same time as the barley so as not to oversalt. Salt level was fine.
- Barley
- Lightly rinsed, then thrown in about 3 hours prior to end of cooking
