"Chicken vegetable soup is a comforting and nutritious dish combining tender chicken pieces with various vegetables simmered in a flavorful broth."

Recipe Description

The broth can be made from scratch by boiling chicken with aromatics, or you can use store-bought chicken broth for convenience. It’s a go-to meal for cold weather or whenever you want something simple yet wholesome. Plus, it’s a great way to use leftover chicken and vegetables!

ingredients

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 leek
  • 2 zucchini
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 whole chicken breasts
  • chicken backs, wings, neck
  • pasta for soup

Method

  • Step 1

    Place over medium heat a stock pot with water and add all the above ingredients ( not the pasta). Add more water to cover and cook at medium low, with the lid half covering the pot for 45 minutes.

  • Step 2

    When all the vegetables are tender, and the chicken fully cooked, remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes. In a food processor place all the vegetables and puree it all. Clean the chicken from the bones and puree as well.

  • Step 3

    Return it to the stock pot and keep warm. If it is too thick, more water can be added.

  • Step 4

    At this point I cooked small rings (ditalini) egg pasta. When done I drain and place some of the pasta in a soup bowl and add the soup over it.
