Sometimes winter just seemed to hang on even though it was time for Spring to arrive. Like now! So the cook was always trying to find ways to satisfy the hungry cowpokes and keep them warm at the same time. It was hard to beat the wonderful aromas of a good soup. This Chicken Barley Chili is not only wonderful, but it is nutritious also.
