1/2 cup (125 ml) pot barley

2 1/2 cups (675 ml) chicken broth

1 lb (454 g) asparagus

3 cups (750 ml) carrots sliced on the diagonal

2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) dried oregano

4 cups (1 litre) baby spinach

Salt and pepper

In a saucepan, bring the barley and 500 ml (2 cups) broth to a boil. Season with salt. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer gently until the barley has absorbed all the broth, about 45 minutes.

Cut the asparagus into 1/2-cm (1/4-inch) lengths, keeping the tips whole. Set aside.

In a soup pot over medium-low heat, soften the carrots in the oil, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the chicken and brown over high heat, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the barley, asparagus, remaining broth and oregano. Continue cooking gently, stirring frequently, until all the broth has been absorbed and the asparagus is tender. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning.
