This warming chicken and pearl barley soup recipe is comfort in a bowl. Tender chicken, nutty barley and vibrant cavolo nero simmer in a rich, flavourful broth, finished with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt. High in protein and a source of fibre and vitamin A, it’s a nourishing dish that’s as good for you as it tastes – made for cosy nights in.
