Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, and garlic until the onion becomes slightly tender, approximately 8 minutes.
Add chicken stock, chicken, carrots, parsnips, and barley to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the barley is slightly tender.
Incorporate sweet potatoes into the soup and continue to simmer until both the sweet potatoes and barley are tender, around 30 minutes. Season with dill, salt, and pepper to taste.
