Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup pearl barley
3 cups water
2 tsp chicken boullion
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb andouille sausage
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
1 stalk celery
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken

Directions:

In a skillet over med-high heat, add 1⁄2 lb andouille sausage, diced. Sauté until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil or discard the oil and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add a diced onion, diced celery, and a diced green or red bell pepper, cook until tender, then add minced garlic, tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and a few hits of Worcestershire sauce. Add cayenne if desired here. (1/2 teaspoon at most!)
Cook 1-2 minutes, then add 1⁄2 to 1 cup broth.
Add the reserved barley (1-2 cups depending on taste), the andouille sausage, and 1 1⁄2 cups shredded cooked chicken (Buy a rotisserie chicken for this or cook your own.)
Bring the entire mixture to a boil/simmer, and season to taste. Serve hot along with hot sauce (if you want it.)
