Ingredients & Variations

Chicken & vegetable soup is not only the best soup recipe to have in your recipe box, but it is also super versatile!

  • Toss in leftover veggies like broccoli, carrots, onions (or peas, green beans, corn).
  • Feel free to add in some rice, egg noodles, or even leftover biscuits on the top just like dumplings!
  • In place of chicken, try substitute ground beef, sausage, or even mini meatballs?
  • Bacon bits go great for a little extra flavor without so much meat.

How to Make Chicken Vegetable Soup

The best way to make chicken vegetable soup is to start with fresh ingredients.

  1. Saute the onions & potatoes (per recipe below).
  2. Add the broth, tomatoes, and seasonings. Simmer until potatoes are tender.
  3. Add veggies and chicken. Simmer until heated.

Season with salt and pepper before serving and enjoy this hearty and delicious soup!

Tips for Success

  • Add your favorite seasonings. If you have fresh herbs (parsley or basil), stir them in just before serving.
  • As this recipe uses cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well in this recipe) add the chicken near the end so it doesn’t overcook.
  • If using fresh vegetables in place of frozen, add them along with the broth so they have time to cook through.

    1. Hi Beth, the flour helps to thicken the soup slightly. You can omit it or substitute it with cornstarch if you prefer. :)

  2. I made this for dinner last night and my wife and son thought it was wonderful. I finished it for dinner tonight and it was even better. The combination of flavors was perfect. Plan to use many of your incredible recipes. Oh, by the way I was born in Taber, Alberta but lived in Utah since age eight. Thanks for these inspirational recipes. THEY ARE PERFECT.

  3. Easy hearty recipe, enjoyed making this delicious recipe, added a can of tomato sauce with garlic, basil and oregano.5 stars
