Steps:
- Heat stock in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken, vegetables, and thyme. Simmer until hot, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your soup will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, and green beans.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any homemade chicken broth, you can use a store-bought brand. Just be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Add some herbs and spices. This will help to give your soup even more flavor. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
- Serve your soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Chicken soup with loads of vegetables is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and nutritious meal, give this recipe a try.
