Creamy chicken soup is an easy way to get a healthy dinner on the table with minimal work! This recipe combines earthy flavors, fresh vegetables, and never turns out mushy! If you prefer a traditional chicken soup, skip the cream – that’s it!
Our kids take this soup for school lunches the day after saving me even more time the morning after. Anything additional I freeze for even quicker meal nights or sick days.
