I don't think I made the same chicken vegetable soup twice. What I add varies with what fresh and frozen veggies I have on hand and what I'm in the mood for that day. This is the soup I made for our Christmas Eve party. This one relied pretty heavily on frozen veggies since the farmer's market the Saturday before was closed because of the blizzard of 09! I made this one in the crock pot to make it a little easier.
Chicken Vegetable Soup
4 tblsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
2 bay leaves
4 cups homemade turkey stock
1/2 bag frozen carrots
1/2 bag frozen peas
1/2 bag frozen okra
1/2 bag frozen corn
1 28 oz can chopped tomatoes
Crushed red peppers, salt, and pepper
Heat 2 tblsp olive oil over medium heat and sweat onions. Place onions in crock pot. Heat remaining olive oil over medium high heat and brown chicken. It doesn't need to cook through, just get some color on it. Transfer to crock pot. Put all remaining ingredients in crock pot. Cook on high for about 1 hour (bring to simmer). Adjust seasoning. Cook on low until ready to serve.
