Here is a simple recipe for vegetable soup with chicken:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup uncooked small pasta shells
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken, thyme, and oregano, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the broth, tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
You can also add other vegetables to this soup, such as peas, green beans, or corn. You can also use different types of pasta, such as elbow macaroni or alphabet pasta, in place of the small shells. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your favorite combination.
