Rinse the pearled barley in several changes of water and drain.
Put the chicken thigh, water, bay leaf, and half of the salt in a pot.
Boil the chicken for 18 minutes and skim off the foam.
Add the pearled barley, chopped carrots, leek, and parsley stems.
Cook the soup for 18 minutes, until the barley softens.
Dice the potatoes, add them to the pot, and cook for 10 more minutes.
Shred the chicken and return it to the pot, then adjust with black pepper and the remaining salt.
Sprinkle with dill and serve the krupnik hot.
💡 Tip: Rinse the barley in several changes of water like rice; removing excess surface starch helps reduce sticking on the bottom of the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve krupnik hot in bowls with dill, with optional rye bread and pickles.
