Make this simple and nourishing chicken and vegetable soup your go-to
Chicken and vegetable soup, the way my family likes it.
I start with a basic broth, which I ladle over slow-cooked onions and chunky root vegetables, plus peas and shredded chicken. It's simple cooking, and wholly nourishing.
Most weeks I'll keep a pot of this soup in my fridge — a saving grace on busy nights packed with after-school activities. I also find myself fancying a bowl for breakfast after a rough night's sleep (or lack-thereof) with my baby.
Sometimes I top the soup with parsley, other times I'll add extra ginger — say, if someone in our family has a cold. You can indeed play around with the ingredients (different vegetables or herbs such as bay leaf, perhaps), but I rarely do. This is just the way we like it.
