A easy Chicken Vegetable Soup recipe that is ready in 35 minutes. This is my family’s favorite Winter soup that uses fresh vegetables!  We use Instant Potatoes to make the broth more creamy!

Chicken Vegetable Soup

I am in love with this Hearty Chicken Vegetable Soup    This soup is delicious because it’s full of vegetables to fill you up and keep you warm during the winter months.    It’s also incredibly easy and quick to make.    At the end we throw in some instant potatoes to thicken up the soup to make it a bit extra creamy.   Instant potatoes are my new favorite thickener for soups, I love using them this way.

And then there’s kale in this soup, my dear kale.   Do you know we’re still growing kale? Yup, under the green house there are multiple kale plants all big and strong that are providing me bags full of  this hearty green vegetable in the refrigerator.  
Kale Growing in Winter in Greenhoues

The last week I’ve been using kale in soups and pastas  frequently which really makes me happy.   I love kale in soup as it really turns into a soft green vegetable in a few minutes of broth,  that also packs a great punch of nutrition.  I just run up to the garden, get the green house off,  and fill up my basket.  All with a winter coat and mittens on of course.

And then I run back down and start my soup.  This soup has so much harvest happiness happening, there’s kale, carrots, potatoes and many dried herbs.  I threw in some chicken to make it more hearty, but if you want to go the meatless route, feel free to leave out the chicken and add more vegetables or use tofu or pasta instead.  

What I do hope is you give this soup a try, I think it will really warm your heart and taste buds!

    I really need to get caught up on Scandal. I’m only like halfway through the first season, haha. But this soup looks absolutely wonderful! Love that fresh kale!

    Scandal is my very favorite show! It gets crazier and more exciting every episode… just you wait!

    The soup looks hearty and so delicious. Kale is my very favorite soup ingredient.

    My kale is not ready to harvest yet but the chard is. Don’t worry about the laundry….you are a busy woman! 🙂 (Anyway, that is my excuse and you are way busier than me.) Beautiful soup. (I hope you post about the project you are working on—the first photo is intriguing.) LOL

    This looks seriously divine! I just love soup – year round! – and chicken soup is a favorite at my house. I’m super jealous of your green house – I wish I could grow something without killing it, and keep it going in the frozen tundra that December is turning into! The kale is a brilliant addition – so nutritious! High five!!
    YAY for cookie week!!! I love cookies. LOVE cookies. Since we’re talking numbers, I could eat approximately 89402890483209 cookies. No joke. I won’t even get out the stretch jeans – it’ll be all yoga pants. They allow for maximum indulgences! 🙂

    I’m so jealous of your kale and all your greenhouse plants! Everything i’ve tried to grow outside has died. It’s been -10 to -20 for the last 5 days. Nothing will grow in that!

    My greens inside are doing okay though – I ate a nice big salad straight from my house yesterday!

    I haven’t soup at all this week, which is crazy because it’s been below 0 in Denver every night for a week now.

    This is so not fair. It’s almost midnight as I’m reading this and now I want Chicken Vegetable Soup. Nothing says warmth on a cold rainy day like chicken soup. I’ve never tried it with kale, but I will now.

    I am seriously thinking about it for my knees; we don’t have a lot of money so that’s what keeping me at bay. But if it does what everyone keeps saying it does, I’ll empty out the savings!
