How to make easy one-pot homemade chicken vegetable soup on the stovetop

1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pot over medium-high heat.
2. Sauté chopped onion, carrots, celery, minced ginger, and garlic until fragrant and slightly softened.
3. Add broth, diced tomatoes, cubed potatoes, bay leaves and herbs, then bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Stir in frozen green beans, reduce heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
5. Add shredded cooked chicken, frozen corn and peas, and simmer another 8–10 minutes to heat through.
6. Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and red chili flakes if desired, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Best spices and herbs for this soup

• Fresh or dried parsley
• Thyme

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Red chili flakes for a touch of heat
• Italian seasoning combines several of the above and works very well

Tips and variations

• Stir in leftover cooked noodles or rice to make the soup more filling.

• Either vegetable or chicken broth works—use what you have on hand.

• Use any combination of vegetables you enjoy.
• If you plan to freeze the soup, avoid adding potatoes (they change texture when frozen and reheated).

• For a creamy version, stir in about 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last few minutes of cooking.
