5 Minutes Rinse barley and cook until half cooked in a separate bowl (pan). It will take 20 minutes to cook, then drain all the water and rinse the cereal.

5 Minutes Put the washed chicken meat, peeled whole onions and carrots, bay leaf into the water. Boil the broth for 20 minutes with a slight boil. Add salt to taste. At the very end, add boiled barley to the broth.

5 Minutes Next add the diced potatoes to the soup. Boil the soup for 15 minutes - until the potatoes are soft and barley is ready.

5 Minutes While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the roast. Cut the peeled onions into cubes, grate the carrots. Saute vegetables in a pan with vegetable oil for 3-4 minutes. Add butter, cook 2 more minutes. The roast is ready.

5 Minutes Add vegetables to soup and stir. Boil the soup for 2-3 minutes. Pepper if you want. Add finely chopped dill and bay leaf to the soup. Bring to a boil and remove soup from heat. Cover the pan with a lid, let the soup brew for 15 minutes, and you're done.

5 Minutes **NOTES & TIPS:** - No seasonings should be added to the chicken broth, except for salt and bay leaf - otherwise the broth will lose its taste !!! - Of the greens, chicken broth really "loves" dill stalks, before adding frying, the stalks are removed from the soup. - Whole onions and carrots (which were added to the broth itself) can be removed from the soup, or you can leave it.
