Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Everybody needs a comforting vegetable soup recipe for when they're sick!
  • A delicious vegetable soup without tomato sauce, tomato paste or any at all tomato!
  • Chicken soup made from fresh vegetables like squash and zucchini from your garden or even the farmer's markets!

Ingredient Notes

  • Butter - please feel free to use olive oil instead.
  • Chicken Broth - I highly recommend using a chicken base instead of bouillon granules. The flavor difference is huge! Chicken base is a highly concentrated chicken stock that has not been dried out.

  • Add the chicken. 
  • Pour in the chicken broth.  Just a note here.  The quality of chicken broth you use will determine how good your soup will taste.  I don't recommend using bouillon cubes or granules.  Use a good chicken base to make your own (which is what I do) or use pre-made.  
  • Simmer until the veggies are cooked through. 
  • Add salt to taste and the Italian seasoning. 
  • That's all there is too it!

Recipe FAQs

How do you add flavor to chicken soup?

Honestly, how good your chicken soup tastes is going to depend on whether you used a quality chicken broth or not.  Bouillon cubes or granules lack flavor.  If you want a good flavored chicken soup you need to use a chicken base.  Better than bouillon is a great brand and Walmart carries it.  Or you could use the premade swanson chicken broth. 

Is homemade chicken vegetable soup healthy?

Yes, this recipe of mine is good for you!   Canned soups are really high in sodium and preservatives.  Homemade chicken vegetable soup uses fresh ingredients and no preservatives which is a win in my book!

Does chicken soup really make you feel better?

The warmth and comforting flavors of soup does actually make you feel better when you don't feel well.  Its soothing qualities seem ease the symptoms of a cold or the flu.

What should I serve with this garden vegetable soup recipe?

Saltine crackers are great but don't forget to try some 90 Minutes Dinner Rolls or a crusty loaf of Homemade French Bread!

    Looking forward to trying this recipe, but I have to say Better Than Bouillon is not healthy in any way, shape or form. It's full of MSG and other processed crap. Better off buying actual stock OR making your own (which is always worth the effort).

      Most don't have time to make their own broth. As a skeptic of most products I have looked into Better Than Bouillon. It contains no MSG and is made from 95% organic ingredients. Clean eating-wise homemade is best but I shape my recipe around what the majority of people are able to use or have access to.
