This is a tasty small-batch chicken vegetable soup recipe for one made in a 2-quart crockpot. Just enough for a hearty dinner and a leftover for lunch the next. This soup is full of succulent chicken and fresh vegetables that you can mix and match based on what’s in season.

If you would like a soup with a bit more heat, then try my spicy V8 vegetable soup recipe. Other favorite soups are the slow cooker split pea soup and hearty meatball stew.

Is Chicken Soup good for a sore throat?

I leave the official answer to science, but this is one of my best soups for a sore throat. It is warm, soothing, and filled with healthy veggies and a flavorful broth. If you use homemade chicken stock, Grandma would be proud!

Ingredient Notes

onions, celery canned tomatoes, red pepper, green beans, seasonings and chicken measure out for chicken vegetable sopup.

Chicken – Use boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets or chicken thighs. The dark meat chicken is also tasty but will increase the soup’s fat content. To speed up the cooking, you can also prepare the soup using precooked chicken.
Vegetables – Onion, carrots, celery, green beans, and red peppers make this a hearty soup. You can mix and match vegetables based on what’s in season or use your favorite frozen vegetables. Sometimes, I add spinach or cabbage.
Tomatoes -Use “no salt added” canned diced tomatoes and add tomato paste to increase the flavor.
Chicken broth– I use Better Than Bouillon and make it just a bit on the weak side, Canned low-sodium chicken broth also works I suggest using one can and making up the difference with water.
Seasoning- The salt and pepper are used to season the chicken, and the Italian blend of herbs or an Herb de Provence takes the flavor up a notch.

Step By Step Recipe Directions

Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the bottom of a 2-quart slow cooker.

What to Serve with Chicken Vegetable Soup

Keep it simple and serve with homemade cornbread. For a heartier meal, add a green salad and fresh crusty bread.

Alternate Cooking Method

The chicken vegetable soup cooks very well on the stovetop. Place all the ingredients in the Dutch oven; I use my Le Creuset French oven for small-batch soups. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 1.5 hours. If using frozen or canned green beans, add them during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
