Try this soup at least one time. It is truly exceptional. This soup is more work, but will give yoi a luxurious, silky broth do to the collagen from tbe wings and chicken feet, and wonderful flavor from the skins, bones, wings, herbs, and veggirs. The barley fotifies the soup and adds textue. The meat is properly cooked and deliscious, without all the flavor boiled out. Finally, there are no bonrs to find in your soup.
You could skip the dumplings and use homemade or store-bought egg noodlrs if you prefer.
