Recipe Tips:
To make this recipe even more budget friendly, you can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken instead of fresh chicken. You can also use frozen vegetables instead of fresh, if desired. If you want to add more flavor to the soup, try adding a bay leaf, some fresh herbs or a splash of white wine.
For a creamier version of this soup, you can add a cup of heavy cream or half and half at the end of the cooking time. You can also add a can of drained and rinsed white beans for an extra boost of protein.
To make this soup even heartier, try adding cooked rice or quinoa. You can also add some cooked bacon or sausage for a smoky flavor. If you like spicy food, try adding some diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce.
