Cream of Chicken and Vegetable Soup, Cream of Chicken and Vegetable Soup

David looked online at a few different cream of chicken and vegetable soup recipes, and based on the ingredients we had in the fridge, made this one.   He'd been wanting to make a creamy chicken soup for a while... I'd poached a chicken breast thinking I was going to make chicken mayo for sandwiches...he hijacked it to make this soup!!!   It was absolutely worth it though - the soup is totally delicious and full of flavour.   Think it'll need to be made again...very soon.

Soups have that 'comfort food' factor and this one doesn't disappoint - it's creamy, chickeny (if there's such a word!) and deliciously flavourful.   

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Tips

  • To poach the chicken breast (can be done the day before) – season it with salt and pepper then add to a saucepan on a high heat along the chicken stock cubes or pots and 1l of cold water.   When the water begins to boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 16 minutes (turning once, halfway through cooking).   Remove the chicken and set aside to cool on a plate before shredding.   Store in an airtight container overnight in the fridge, ready to add at step 2 of the recipe.   Reserve the stock that the chicken was poached in and add it, also at step 2.
  • This cream of chicken and vegetable soup recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
