Chicken vegetable soup full of chicken, veggies and potatoes in tomato broth.

Soup is one of my favorite things to make for dinner, especially on a cold day. My girls happen to love soup too, and this chicken vegetable soup is a current favorite. It’s chock full of tender chicken and a rainbow of veggies for a simple yet satisfying dinner.

How do you make chicken vegetable soup?

This soup starts with the classic base of onions, carrots and celery. You can use any type of cooked chicken here such as roasted cubed chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.

The veggies are sauteed in a little butter, and then more ingredients go into the mix including the chicken, tomatoes, and potatoes.

The soup should simmer until the potatoes are tender, and then you can stir in the last of the veggies which include corn and green beans. Add a little parsley and dinner is served!

What vegetables do you put in a chicken soup?

The beauty of this soup is you can really customize it to fit whatever vegetables and protein you already have in the fridge. Don’t have chicken? Try ground beef or smoked sausage. Other great add-ins or substitutions include

  • Pasta
  • Beans
  • Butternut Squash
  • Leeks
  • Peas
  • Ham
  • Bacon

What seasonings go in vegetable soup?

I season this soup with garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Don’t have Italian seasoning? Use equal parts of dried parsley, oregano and basil to make your own.

How do you make slow cooker chicken soup?

You can easily adapt this recipe for the slow cooker. Simply combine all the ingredients except for the parsley in a crock pot and cook on LOW for 2-4 hours or until the potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Can you freeze chicken soup?

This chicken vegetable soup makes a good candidate for the freezer. Just be aware, when you thaw the soup some of the vegetables and potatoes may be softer, but the flavor is still delicious.

Chicken vegetable soup is on my table almost every week during the colder months. It’s super filling and I love that it’s really a complete meal in one pot. Best of all, it helps my kids to get their veggies in!

    This is my go to soup for my husband! I make my own stock, and add zucchini. It’s perfect. Thanks!

    So I didn’t have the beans, corn, parsley, chicken or potato. I used egg noodles to try and make up for the thickness the potato & chicken would’ve offered. I think the flavor was really great! My husband wasn’t a fan, but I think maybe he just doesn’t like soups in general. His loss… more for me.

    The only thing that was frustrating was the onions, celery and carrots took forEVER to sauté for some reason. I ended up with a crunchy soup. That’s no ones fault but my own: I was in a huge hurry. I fixed it the next day when I let it all simmer on the stove for an hour or so.

    Overall, I loved all of the flavors together, and I loved how even though I didn’t have key ingredients on hand, it still turned out awesome.

    Best chicken and veggie soup I have ever had! I love the depth in flavor the tomato sauce adds. I add some red chili flakes to make it a little spicy and it’s delicious. I’m adding this to my recipe collection!
