Before you jump to Barley Stew w/Smoked Chicken Sausage recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.

Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper amount of exercise. The sad thing is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have the time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. Working out at the gym isn’t something people want to do when they get off from work. A hot, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a crunchy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy decisions doesn’t have to be irritating. If you are conscientious you’ll get all of the activity and appropriate food choices you need. Here are some of the best ways to be healthy.

Go up the stairs. Instead of picking the elevator, ascend the stairs to your floor. Obviously this isn’t as plausible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a excellent way to get some exercise in. If you do work on a extremely high floor, why not get off the elevator a few floors earlier and walk the rest of the way? So many people choose the elevator over hiking even a single flight of stairs. That one flight of stairs—when taken a few times a day—can be just the additional boost that your system needs.

There are lots of things you can pursue to become healthy. An overpriced gym membership and very hard to stick to diets are not the only way to do it. You can do little things every day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Make smart choices every day is a great start. Looking to get in as much physical activity as possible is another. The numbers on the scale aren’t the only indication of your health levels. It has more to do with making your body as powerful as it can be.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to barley stew w/smoked chicken sausage recipe. You can cook barley stew w/smoked chicken sausage using 8 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you do it.

The ingredients needed to make Barley Stew w/Smoked Chicken Sausage:
  1. Get Barley
  2. Provide chicken, roasted garlic, & gruyere cheese smoked sausage (I used Aidells)
  3. Prepare 18.5 oz cans of vegetable soup (I used Progresso Vegetable Classics - Garden Vegetable)
  4. Take sea salt to taste
  5. Get ground black pepper to taste

Instructions to make Barley Stew w/Smoked Chicken Sausage:
  1. Rinse barley under cold water.
  2. Place rinsed barley in a 3 quart pot with 4 cups of cold water, a splash of EVOO, the bay leaf, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Cover & bring to a rolling boil. Reduce to medium heat. Watch to make sure it doesn't boil over. Cook for 30 mins, no peeking.
  4. While the barley is cooking, cut the sausage into 1/4 inch pieces.
  5. Remove the barley from the heat and stir, making sure to gently scrape the bottom. Most of the water should be gone. If not, drain off most of what's left, but don't trip if there is still a small amount in the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add 2 cans of the vegetable soup, cut sausage, sea salt, ground black pepper, ground mustard, & cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  7. Place back on high heat and stir until it starts to bubble. Immediately reduce heat to medium, cover again, and cook for another 15 mins.
