Everyday Chicken Vegetable Soup in 30 minutes

If there’s ever a chicken soup recipe that we crave on a daily basis or when we need a simple starter for a gathering, it is this 30 minute chicken vegetable soup. It’s loaded with all the veggie-good stuff, including plenty of greens and rich flavor from the soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce.

Chicken Soup Recipe with Healthy Veggies

This chicken vegetable soup recipe was made over 3 years ago when we had our ambitious idea of publishing our own little food magazine. Although put the idea on the back burner now, we ended up with thirty zucchini recipes. The whole project wasn’t a waste because we learned so much during the process and  spent two months eating more zucchini than most people eat in a lifetime!

Our chicken soup recipe definitely has evolved since then. We’ve added more spinach to make it more greens-focused. There’s so many different possibilities with this soup and adding kale is just one fantastic example of incorporating more healthy greens.
