Chicken soup is probably one of my favorites to make. You can do a slow cooker version, or on top of the stove. The version we will make today is probably the quickest, and it is very budget friendly. Altogether I spent about $10. It was a long day at work and I wanted some chicken soup.
I purchased a bag of skinless frozen chicken thighs. You can use fresh if you prefer. Also, tip: for frozen chicken, cover in a pot of water, with some diced onion, salt pepper, garlic powder and let it boil for about 15 mins, the chicken will thaw and you made chicken broth!
It is the best go to recipe to make and you still have time to enjoy your day or evening. Kids love it and you can add ingredients that your family will like. I love a versatile recipe. It can be made many ways and still be delicious and it’s not the same boring meal each time.
This is done in about an hour, serve with cornbread and Voila! The recipe below will serve a large family. Scale back if you have a smaller family or will be making this just for yourself.
