When you are going through chemotherapy, it may be difficult to find the energy and appetite to eat protein-rich nutritious meals. Chicken, Barley, and Bow-tie Soup from Holly Clegg’s Trim and Terrific Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook is as soothing as it is delicious. Diabetic-friendly and a good source of protein, this recipe makes a large pot so you can make once and eat it throughout the week helping to ease your workload. You can also freeze extra for another time, and take advantage of the time-saver and use rotisserie chicken to save a step.

Chicken, Barley, and Bow-Tie Soup​ A hearty version of a favorite remedy with barley and pasta is one of my favorites.
