Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.25 lbs chicken breasts or thighs boneless, skinless
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3/4 cup carrots diced
  • 2 celery ribs diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp hot sauce optional
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 7 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables corn and green beans
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or Large Soup Pot
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp Knife
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • silicone spatula

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and rest for 10 minutes before dicing or shredding.
  2. Melt butter in the same pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire, parsley, basil, oregano, mustard powder, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and return chicken to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  4. Add frozen mixed vegetables and simmer for 10–15 minutes more until vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with parsley or Parmesan, and enjoy!

Notes

Use shredded rotisserie chicken for a quick version. Add grains like rice or pasta separately for a heartier soup. For a creamy twist, stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk before serving. Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
