Variations & swaps
Vegetable Variations
- This traditional chicken vegetable soup recipe features carrots, celery, and potatoes. You can customize the soup to your preference by using different vegetables, such as these swaps:
- Using one or two parsnips in place of one or two of the carrots.
- Swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes. (Cut sweet potatoes into larger pieces as they will cook faster than white potatoes.)
- Add frozen peas or beans a few minutes before adding the chicken.
- Add a handful of baby spinach when you adjust the seasoning right before serving.
