Cooking with Joel - Taco soup

Had some tortillas that needed to be eaten and i hate throwing food away. My mom sent me a recipe for taco soup which I basically improvised some of the ingredients. Her recipe is -
16oz can refried beans
28oz can tomato sauce
14oz can corn
3/4 cup uncooked barley (have that in cereal cupboard)
16oz chicken broth
12oz canned chicken
1pk Old Elpaso Taco seasoning
14oz can black beans (drained)
14oz can kidney beans (drained)
1cup shredded cheddar (add after cooked)
Throw all in crock pot til hot. About 1/2-1 hour on high.
Feel free to try it. If you have suggestions or try the recipe and think of a way to make it better, let me know in the comments maybe I will try it next time i make this.
