Lots of Veggies Crock Pot Chicken Soup

This is a wonderful and healthy comfort soup! I whipped this together with ingredients already in my kitchen one cold and rainy Seattle Sunday. It turned out scrumptious, and it freezes well for a quick weekday dinner. This makes a very chunky veggie-intensive soup - if you want to go lighter on the veggies, then just omit some of the listed ones, such as the bag of frozen mixed veggies. I am cooking some right now in my crock pot and can't wait for it to be ready! Serve with fresh warm bread and enjoy!
