Super Simple Chicken Soup

Just what it says... really simple and quick. I change amounts as I add them to the pot if I think I need a little more of anything. This is a very forgiving recipe and a great base for additions.

4. Cook (medium boil) for 15 minutes or until carrots are done enough for you.
5. Combine cold water and corn starch then add to your pot while stirring.

7. *You can add more cornstarch mixture if you would like it thicker. I like mine somewhere between a soup and a stew consistency.*.
