Chicken Vegetable Soup
This soup is full of shredded chicken, vegetables, and potatoes simmered in a tomato broth. Chicken and Vegetable Soup is an easy way to eat your veggies. Not only is it a colorful assortment of produce, but it is also a bowl full of protein.
We love to make this when we have leftover chicken and veggies in the fridge. It is a great way to ensure nothing goes to waste. The soup makes a hearty and filling dinner any night of the week.
This one-pot meal will become your go-to recipe when looking for a soup to keep you warm on those chilly nights. In fact, in less than an hour, you can enjoy this healthy and easy Chicken Vegetable Soup!
How do you add flavor to vegetable soup?
We add Italian Seasoning and fresh Parsley to our recipe to give it an extra bit of flavor. You can always add more herbs to taste if desired.
Can you mix vegetable and chicken broth?
Yes. Allowing the vegetables to simmer in the chicken broth cooks the veggies and adds a great flavor.
What can I use if I don’t have stock?
If you do not have stock on hand and cannot get some, have no fear! You can use water instead. You can add a bouillon cube to the water to make your own stock. Or it is fine to use plain water. Just note the soup will taste slightly different without the chicken stock flavor, but it will still be delish from the other flavors packed in there!
