Eric's Barley Chili



***This is Eric Thick***

  • 1 32 oz container chicken broth
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups barley 
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can of corn, don't drain
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with juice(I like the seasoned kind... if you like it spicy use Rotel)
  • 2 cans tomato sauce
  • 2 tbs chili powder
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 1/2- 1 onion diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cayenne pepper to taste
In pot brown turkey with onion.  Add water, chicken broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasoning and barley.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce to simmer for 30-45 minutes.  (make your cornbread while you wait) Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Simmer for another 5 minutes, and fuss with the seasoning to your liking.  Serve.

Notes... I know that it sounds like a lot of liquids.  The barley soaks it up.
