Chicken Minestrone Soup image

My son-in-law has renamed this soup "Chewy Chicken Soup." The flavor is great and the torn chicken meat gives the soup a different texture. (A chewy texture) An excellent soup to serve with warm breadsticks. For a soup lower in fat, substitute 5 cups chicken boullion for the water used to cook chicken.

  • If desired, remove some or all of the fat from water. If needed, add water and boullion cube to make 5 cups broth.

I'm not a huge fan of minestrone soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken and vegetables are cooked perfectly, and the broth is rich and flavorful.
