| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a 5-quart saucepan or soup pot, combine the chicken wings, necks, backs, hearts and gizzards with the water or stock and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off all the foam and scum as they rise to the surface. Add the carrots, celery, parsnip, onion with the cloves, and a few grindings of pepper.
|
2. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cover the chopped mushrooms with ½ cup boiling water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Then add them with their soaking liquid to the soup and pour in the barley. Stirring occasionally, simmer half covered for 1 hour, or until the barley, giblets and mushrooms are tender.

|
3. Remove the wings, necks and backs from the soup with a slotted spoon. Skin them and pick the meat from the bones. Chop the meat coarsely and add it to the simmering soup. Discard the onion. Taste for seasoning and stir in the parsley. Serve from a heated tureen or a large serving bowl.
