    How To Make Chicken Vegetable Soup

    • Carrots
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Chicken stock or broth

    Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Five minutes before soup is finished, add the chicken (2 cups shredded or 2 cans).

    Ladle into serving bowls and top with Parmesan cheese.

    • To simplify the recipe even more, replace fresh garlic with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and replace fresh parsley with 2 teaspoons dried parsley.

    Ways To Boost Flavor In This Recipe

    While this recipe is super easy and delicious, there is room to boost the flavor a few different ways. Consider adding one or more of the following to your soup! Scope out this post for even more flavor-boosting tips!

    • Add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
    • Drizzle a few drops of hot sauce (like Tabasco) into the soup! Zing!
    • Add canned or fresh jalapeno peppers to the garlic and olive oil before adding the veggies to the pan.
    • Add up to 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning to the mixture before simmering.
    • Chop and add onion to the garlic and oil at the beginning of the recipe.
    • Replace canned veggies with equal amounts fresh if you have them on hand!
    • Top the soup with shaved Parmesan just before serving.
    • Sprinkle extra salt and pepper into the recipe.
    • Add 1 teaspoon seasoned salt to the soup.
    • Use additional spices of your choice, such as paprika, cumin or oregano.
    • 1-2 teaspoons of sugar would sweeten it right up.
    • Add bacon! Or sausage. Or both!
    • Use full salt chicken broth/stock.
    • A can of chickpeas or beans would be a great addition (drained).
