Bernices Chicken Soup.

I could eat this every night and with the onset of a cold it was a dream come true.
1 small free range chicken.
2 Carrots.
2 Leeks.
2 cloves of garlic.
1 onion
2 Parsnips
2 teaspoons bouillon.
Put all ingredients in a pan and cover with water.
Simmer on a low light for 3 hours.
After 2 and a half hours add some pearl barley.
Take the meat of the chicken bone discarding bones and put flesh back into soup.
Serve infront of favourite TV programme with blanket draped over shoulders.
