Ingredients

2 lb chicken breasts without
1 skin
2 qt water
1/2 cup pearled barley
1 large onion -- chopped
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1 bay leaf
1 cup carrots -- sliced
1/2 cup celery -- chopped
8 oz mushrooms -- sliced
10 oz peas, frozen
1 fresh parsley


Directions

Combine chicken thighs, water, barley, onion, poultry seasoning, salt,
pepper, paprika and bay leaf in a dutch oven. Bring to boil. Cover,
reduce heat and simmer until chicken is fork-tender, about 45
minutes. Remove chicken; skim fat brom broth unless you're planning
to chill the finished soup overnight. The chilled fat could be
lifted off just before reheating.

Cool chicken; remove meat from bones and dice. Set aside. Add
carrots, celery and mushrooms to broth. Cover; simmer 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Return diced chicken to soup and peas and
parsley. Discard bay leaf; Cook until soup is heated through.

The History of Recipes

Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and asafoetida.

During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group.

By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer.
