Chicken Vegetable Soup
Description
Starting with softened aromatics in butter, this soup includes classic vegetables like carrots, celery, and onion, cooked until tender. Garlic adds a subtle pungency before combining all ingredients with canned tomatoes and broth to simmer.
The addition of cubed russet potatoes cooks until tender, while frozen or fresh green beans and corn provide bursts of sweetness and color. The chicken is incorporated early to meld flavors during the simmering.
This soup is a comforting, savory dish that can be served as a starter or light meal, balancing fresh vegetables with savory broth and chicken protein. Fresh parsley sprinkled before serving adds brightness.
