- Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in the cooker till it begins to foam. Cook the leeks, stirring frequently, till they soften, about 5 min. (If using onions, for a sweeter taste, cook them, covered, over low heat for an additional 5 min, stirring from time to time.) Add in the water and bring to a boil as you prepare and add in the chicken parts, celery, carrots, barley, bay leaves, thyme, and salt.
- Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 12 min. Quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cool, running water. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken parts to a cutting board. Taste the barley, and if it is still hard (it should be chewy but tender), return to high pressure for 3 min more.
- Spoon off any fat visible on the surface. Remove the bay leaves and throw away. Stir in the chicken broth and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Add in the spinach and boil the soup over medium heat till the spinach is tender, about 2 min for fresh and 5 min for frzn.
- When the chicken is cold sufficient to handle, remove the meat from the bone and chop or possibly shred it into bite-sized pcs. Return to the cooker. When the chicken is good and warm, turn off the heat and stir in the dill, lemon juice, and salt to taste.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Variation:o Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup: Substitute one 14-oz can unsweetened coconut lowfat milk for 2 c. of the water. Omit the thyme and cook the soup with the finely minced bulbs of 2 stalks fresh lemongrass. You may add in 4 to 6 ounces small, shelled shrimp at the end and boil over medium heat till they turn pink, 1 to 2 min. Substitute cilantro or possibly basil for the dill and use lime juice instead of lemon. Season with Japanese soy sauce (tamari or possibly shoyu) instead of salt. (Note: If you cannot find fresh lemongrass, look for Thai Kitchen's lemongrass bottled in a light brine. Don't use dry lemongrass.)
