Clara ,I make a similar soup but use milk powder instead of milk ie mix a couple of tablespoons of full cream milk powder with enough water to make smooth mix and add.
I made it last night and used raw chicken breast and added a handful of barley,finely chopped parsley and shallots and cooked it all for about an hour on a high simmer - the chicken fell a part with a little help.I added a packet of chicken and corn cup of spup at the emd mixed in with the milk powder and that helps to thicken it
