    looks disgusting and not enough water in the soup… I rather stick to Chef
    Johns recipe.

    This is like my recipe to make dog food. That’s not a blast against it. I’m
    just saying. Chicken stewed with vegetables in a pressure cooker, my dog
    does back-flips for it.

    can u use chicken breast fillets instead of whole chicken?

    I find that the veggies used to make the stock are completely devoid of
    flavor/texture when they come out., so I toss them. I have tried eating
    them separately to avoid the waste, but they’re just awful. Instead, I cut
    up fresh veggies and soften them a bit in the pot (high heat with some
    olive oil) before adding the stock and shredded chicken.

    Side note: garlic and thyme can really kick up chicken soup.

    I like this receipe because it’s easy and very simple with all natural
    ingredients. I’m going to try it SOON!

    Hey. I use whole fresh carrots and I do peel them. If I cook them separate
    from the main dish (soup or stew) and add them later it’s fine but when I
    cook them in the soup I taste this weird bittery taste

    Can this be done in a slow cooker?

    I would definitely add fresh garlic clove to the chicken and veggie boil &
    maybe a boullion cube..

    My boyfriend, who is sick, wants soup so I decided to look one up. This
    looks easy to me because I HATE to cook and will only cook something that
    has 5 ingredients. That’s just wrong right. I know. I’ll do it although
    I don’t have a big pot. Thanks.

    Not feeling this one.

    thanks for this great recipe, i am complete amateur to cooking, but
    yesterday was a giant leap for me as a followed your instructions and
    cooked a nice chicken soup successfully! cheers

    how long do i need to simmer the chicken and vegetables for? i only heard
    until the meat falls of the bone, but can you give a ball park on time?

  13. Magda Giordano

    cool but my mom always cooks it correctly

  14. lookherenow2

    What did she say at 3:10? “You can add some ??? If you like”
    Sorry I didn’t catch what she said.

  15. Joey Zen

    Why no noodles? That’s the best part!

    Allrecipes you folks are a loved cooking aid BUT this recipe…Hmmm…

    I use the bones from the yummy roasted chickens saved in the freezer to
    make my stock. So when I want soup I just take out a baggie of broth and,
    Bob’s your uncle.

    To make soup, I add saute garlic, onions, add broth and water. When soup
    starts to boil I add my veggies so that they’ll have some crunch.

    While soup is cooking or well before, salt and pepper your chicken
    breast(s) place them in a 450 oven and cook them just as you would if you
    were going to eat them alone. This way your chicken will have it’s own
    flavor and it won’t be dried out from being boiled.

    When soup is ready add the now shredded chicken and a handful of basil or
    oregano stir, and serve with hunks of crusty bread.

    Feel free to add noodles or rice.
