Chicken Vegetable Soup
This chicken vegetable soup doesn't skimp on the vegetables. A whole chicken is simmered with a garden's worth of veggies for a soup that's as nourishing as it is delicious.

Instructions
- 01
In a Dutch oven, add the chicken, celery, onion and water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any fat or foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remove the chicken and let it cool, retaining the broth.
- 02
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Return the meat to the pan with the broth.
- 03
Add the tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, turnip, bouillon and herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli and peas (if using), and simmer until they're bright green and cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.

Variations & swaps
Chicken Vegetable Soup Variations
- Use frozen vegetables: Frozen vegetables are easy to use (and super-nutritious), and peas aren’t the only frozen veggie that can be used in this chicken and vegetable soup. Frozen broccoli, cut green beans and sweet corn are easy to grab from the freezer and add at the end so they can thaw and just cook through.
- Add rice or pasta: Want an even more filling soup? Leftover cooked rice or frozen tortellini can be added during the last five minutes of cooking.
- Fresh herbs: If you have them available, fresh herbs can add a brighter flavor to the soup. Consider fresh versions of the herbs already included, like thyme, or something different like dill. Herbs will retain their color and flavor better if stirred in at the very end.
