This soup is easy to make, wonderfully nutritious, comforting and quite frankly the best chicken veggie soup you can make for yourself from the comfort of your own cozy kitchen. Try my Dairy Free Cream Of Chicken Soup the first chance you get!
Silky smooth, “creamy”, nourishing and absolutely satisfying are words that aptly describe our Dairy Free Cream Of Chicken Soup.
Dunking with thick wedges of your favourite crispy, crunchy, healthy toast is heartily encouraged.
And right now, with the whole world feeling a little shaky and uncertain, we probably all need to be making food for ourselves and our loved ones that feels comforting, nourishing, hearty and up-lifting.
I LOVE soup, if you do too, here are some more soup recipes you MUST TRY SOON – Simple Cauliflower Potato Celery Soup, my Amazing Indian Vegetable Lentil Soup, my Clean Eating Carrot Turmeric Ginger Soup and my Cozy Up Tomato & Butternut Squash Soup. Also give this Chicken Tortilla Soup a try for another cozy recipe!
For my vegetarian and vegan friends – you could easily leave out the chicken and add extra veggies like pumpkin or butternut squash, maybe a few golden potatoes or sweet potatoes to achieve a delightful and hearty vegetable soup! I’m totally a fan of veggie soup.
Dairy Free Cream Of Chicken Soup is made with:
- Baked and shredded succulent and tender chicken breasts (in just 10 minutes!)
- Onion, garlic, herbs and spices
- Carrots, celery, sweetcorn, peas (use fresh or frozen veg)
- Cannellini beans, or any beans you like
- Chicken or vegetable stock (or just use water)
- Coconut milk – to achieve that scrumptious creaminess
- Plus a few other basic ingredients to bring the soup together
While these are my favourite veggies to use for this delicious chicken soup, you can substitute with any veggies you might have on hand – fresh or frozen.
