Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil or butter
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
  • 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat a soup pot over medium heat and add oil or butter. Add diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add Main Ingredients: Pour in the cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, petite diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth into the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine.
  3. Season the Soup: Add dried parsley, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings. Adjust seasoning to your taste preference.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
  5. Serve: Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls. Serve warm and enjoy a comforting bowl of homemade chicken vegetable soup.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables if preferred; adjust simmer time accordingly.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt content.
  • For a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with cold water during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
