Crock Pot Chicken Vegetable Soup (Nothin' Fancy, Just Yummy)

Submitted by Sarah in New York

"There is nothing crazy wonderful about this, it's just a good, hearty chicken and vegetable soup. I have been trying to eat more "low-carb" so this recipe isn't super creamy. You can add 1 cup of chopped potatoes and 1/2 cup cream if you don't care about carbs and I'm sure it would be even better. I just love to eat this soup and I hope you will too. It's very simple to make and just plain old good!"

I doubled the corn and carrots to make this more hearty, and added an extra bouillon cube, added extra pepper to taste to add a little bite to it. Came out awesome! next time I might cut back on the thyme a tiny bit and add more oregano. I put whole chicken breasts in mine, and just pulled them out at the end and shredded them by hand, re-added the meat and let it sit on low for another 30 min to an hour for the broth to set in some in the meat. It's pretty crazy how easy this is to make, and if you have the spices etc handy its very cheap as well

Delicious. I made this in my pressure cooker for 24 minutes. I used two raw chicken breasts and followed the recipe but used a half bag of frozen corn instead of canned corn. I think cream corn would be good with this too. I am on weight watchers and the recipe made 12 cups of soup/ 6 servings (2 cups per serving) and it equaled 4 points per serving. It was the first time I ever used butter in a soup recipe and it really gave the broth a good flavor . I also used fat free chicken broth. Will definitely make this again.

We liked this, but felt it was missing something, like potatoes or rice. We served it with lots of soup crackers and that helped round it out. I used 1 cup of frozen corn instead of canned.

I am a soup lover and this is my new favorite soup. I should have reviewed it sooner, I have been making this for a couple of years. Perfect for a cold day, just a comfort food. I try to eat very low carb if possible so I add a little more onions and celery for me and eat less of the carrots and corn, I leave most of those for my family. The flavor of the broth is wonderful!!! Thank you!

As a personal preference, I added less corn, two cups of water, a bunch of baby potatoes, and parsnips and it turned out wonderful! definitely making this one again!
