Chicken veggie soup ingredients in small bowls.
  • Boneless Chicken: Serves as the protein base of the soup, providing a hearty and filling element. Chicken breast offers a leaner option, while thighs contribute a richer flavor.
  • Russet Potatoes: Add starchiness and body to the soup, thickening it slightly and giving it a comforting, home-cooked feel. Sweet potatoes can introduce a subtle sweetness, offering a variation in flavor.
  • Onion: Acts as a foundational element in creating the soup's aromatic base, offering depth and sweetness once cooked. Substituting with shallots or leeks can provide a more delicate, less overpowering flavor.
  • Sliced Carrots & Celery: Contribute to the soup’s classic mirepoix, which is essential for building layers of flavor. They also add a pleasant crunch and a boost of vitamins.
  • Green Beans & Corn Kernels: Add texture and pops of sweetness throughout the soup, making each spoonful interesting and satisfying. Using fresh or frozen varieties maintains the soup's freshness and nutritional value.
  • Stewed Tomatoes: Introduce a slight acidity and richness, contributing to the soup's complexity of flavor. Fresh tomatoes can brighten the dish further, particularly in the summer months.
  • Minced Garlic: Enhances the soup with a pungent, earthy flavor that underpins many of the other ingredients, grounding the soup's overall taste profile.
  • Seasonings (Salt, pepper, and bay leaves): These are crucial for seasoning the soup properly, enhancing its flavors, and bringing the dish together cohesively.
  • Chicken Broth: Provides the liquid base of the soup, infusing it with a deep, savory flavor. Vegetable broth can lighten the dish while still offering a flavorful foundation.
  • Frozen Peas & Baby Spinach Leaves: Introduce a burst of color, freshness, and additional nutrients. Kale is an excellent alternative for adding more texture and a slightly different flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen chicken? A: It's best to thaw the chicken first to ensure even cooking throughout the soup.

Q: How can I thicken the soup? A: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the crock pot or add a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Q: Can I add rice or noodles? A: Yes, you can add rice or noodles. If using, add them during the last hour of cooking on high or two hours on low to prevent them from becoming too mushy.

Can I make this soup in the Instant Pot

To adapt this comforting Crock Pot Chicken & Veggie Soup recipe for the Instant Pot, making it perfect for even quicker weeknight meals, follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Prior to starting, chop the vegetables, drain the canned vegetables and cut the chicken breast into chunks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Using the sauté setting on your Instant Pot, heat a bit of oil, then add your onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Cancel the sauté setting.
  3. Add the Chicken, canned vegetables and Broth: Add all of the other vegetables except the spinach and peas. Place the chicken in and add the salt, pepper and bay leaves. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the ingredients (about 6 cups).
  4. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid of your Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 6 minutes. It will take a few minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
  5. Quick Release and Serve: Once the cooking time is up, carefully do a quick release to release the pressure. Open the lid after the pin drops, indicating it’s safe to do so. Check the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked. Add the spinach and frozen peas. Place the lid on for 10 minutes to wilt the spinach and heat the frozen peas. Once heated serve your delicious and quick Chicken & Veggie Soup hot.

This Instant Pot method slashes cooking time and delivers all the savory flavors of your favorite Crock Pot Chicken & Veggie Soup in a fraction of the time, perfect for those nights when you’re short on time but craving something wholesome and satisfying.
