Ahhhh!!! Cheesy Chicken Veggie Soup! First of all, this yummy soup is light enough to enjoy when it’s not quite cool weather, in addition to being satisfyingly delicious so that it can calm the soup-starved taste buds of Summer!!! Sometimes, during the busy and heated days, of Summer, it’s easy to get caught up in the quick, grab and go BLTs and the summery salads. And if you’re like me, before you know it, your taste buds are craving the yummy comforting deliciousness of soup! Cheesy Chicken Veggie Soup is just the right amount of yummyness to calm those fierce cravings!
That’s what happened to me last weekend! I was SO hungry for a yummy, cheesy delicious soup! The problem? Well, others in my family refuse to eat soup when the weather is warm. And so I decided to put a soup together, but on a smaller scale than what I would usually fix for my family. And, as a result of my labor, Cheesy Chicken Veggie Soup was created! It’s rich, it’s creamy, it’s full of veggies and yummy chicken, and in my opinion, almost perfect for warmer weather……(at least for me)! What’s not to like? LOL
In just a few, quick steps, this delicious soup comes together!
As a result of boiling the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in water and chicken base, and adding the granulated garlic, onion powder and black pepper, the rich flavor of the stock is enhanced!
All that goodness coming together…mmmmm yum!
And then add in the veggies……..
Then the yummy broccoli florets……
Last but certainly not least…..add in the processed American cheese!!!…
And then, the reward for all that patience!!!! Cheesy Chicken Veggie Soup!!!! Oh So Yummy!!!! Oh and BONUS…..this soup freezes very well!!! So even if you are the only soup lover in your family, go ahead! Make this soup and enjoy every bite now, then freeze the left overs for later! 🙂
