  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups stock and/or water (vegetable, chicken, chicken bouillon)

  • 2 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Other Ingredient Options:

Dumping Options:

  • 3/4 cup flour (gluten or gluten free)
  • 2 tbsp butter (vegan or regular)
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or dairy free)
  • 1/2 tsp of fresh or dried parsley

Soup Instructions:

  1. Prep vegetables and chicken.
  2. Over medium heat in a heavy bottom pan, melt butter or heat oil. Sauté garlic and onion for a few minutes, until fragrant. Add carrots and sauté for a minute to soften.
  3. Add remaining vegetables and sauté for a few minutes.
  4. Combine the vegetables with cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, stock/water and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
  5. Once the soup is boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes or until you are ready to eat.

Soup with Noodles Instructions:

  1. Prepare noodles per package instructions.
  2. Put the desired amount of noodles in a bowl and add soup.

Note: I NEVER put the noodles directly into the big batch of soup, they get over cooked and absorb too much stock once stored in the fridge.

Soup with Dumplings Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl with a fork.
  2. With a spoon, plop about 8 scoops of dumpling mix into the soup.
  3. Cook uncovered on low for 10 minutes, then continue to cook covered for another 15 minutes.
  4. Serve and enjoy!
