This delicious soup is so easy and so delicious. I also like that it’s not super thick or creamy soup.

Tips, Changes + Stored Information
use either frozen or fresh vegetables soup. Luckily, frozen vegetables are picked at their peak freshness, so you’ll get good flavor whether you use fresh or frozen vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are not spoiled and have good color and texture.
Slow cooker: Using a slow cooker is a great way to make this soup on a busy day. You still sautĂ© the chicken in the pan with garlic. However, you don’t need to cook it through as it will finish cooking in the crock pot. Put chicken, garlic and other ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or high for 2-3 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
How to Thicken Italian Chicken Soup:
- Since this soup has a tomato component, you can add a little ketchup or tomato paste.
- Try adding heavy cream, sour cream or yogurt. Be sure to add this at the end and don’t boil as it will curdle the cream.
- Add flour: In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon flour with ÂĽ c stock. Once smooth, add it to the soup. Repeat as necessary.
- Add cornstarch: In a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water. Stir until smooth, then slowly stir it into the soup. Repeat as necessary.

- onion

We loved this soup and we think you will too, because it’s really easy and delicious.
Freezer Meals: Soups are famous on freezer meal menus, and this dish is no exception. If you have a large enough pot, or are using 2, I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe to have several meals on hand. Complete steps 1-3, then simmer for about 10 minutes. You don’t want to overcook the veggies before freezing them or they might end up mushy. After the soup has boiled for a few minutes, allow the soup to cool before pouring it into a freezer-safe airtight container. Label and freeze for up to 4-6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm in the crock or stove top.
arrive shop, divide the soup into individual servings and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. freeze Leftover soup for 4 months, but be aware that the veggies may get a little mushy. reheat Soup in the microwave or on the stove top.
