How to make chicken vegetable soup with your fresh garden veggies:
Other than some seasonings and a bit of butter, this is everything you need to make this delicious garden vegetable chicken soup!
- Melt the butter to sizzling in a pot. Add the veggies and lightly saute’ them.
- 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.
- Add the chicken.
- Simmer until the veggies are cooked through. Add salt to taste and the italian seasoning. That’s all there is too it!
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.
