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!

      Delicious! I made a mistake when adding the italian seasoning, and used a Tablespoon instead of a teaspoon. No problem, it was great! Will make again and again. This is the first recipe from your website, but it definitely won’t be the last!

      Yum! this soup has the perfect savory flavor. I upped the quantity of green beans, and added some mushrooms for some immune fortification, as well as a little arborio rice, which makes it a bit thicker on a chilly evening. I am sharing it with my friend and neighbor whose husband is in chemo treatment. It should be very nourishing and comforting for them. Great recipe!

      Just tried it, need to simmer a bit longer to soften the carrots, but it turned out great. Thank you – we will be making this often! Love the balance of broth to solid items, great tomato base.

      I’ve been making this for about 2 years now and everyone loves it-from 3-year-olds up. I stick to the recipe, aside from changing seasonal vegetables. It’s colorful and delicious!!! I cook a whole chicken in the instant pot and this is what I make on day 2 of leftovers from that for homemade broth.

      I don’t think five minutes is long enough for placing the frozen corn and green beans into the mix at the end.

      Outside of that…it’s our favorite version of a chicken/veg soup with tomato base.

      Delicious! My young adult son said “it’s the best chicken vegetable soup” he’s ever had!
      Just FYI: I use the “Better than Bouillion ” vegetable seasoned base…great for all soups.

      Every recipe I have ever tried on this site has turned out wonderfully. This soup was no exception. Colourful, healthy, and easy to put together using ingredients I always have on hand. I used shredded leftover rotisserie chicken. Could not be easier. Thank you for yet another great recipe!

      This has been my “go to” recipe for some time now. Especially for a friend or family gathering. It is a rave among my guests . Good Job 😷 . The only thing I do different is add about 6 oz. of cook pasta and a little more broth. Aver
