Creamy Chicken, Tomato and Vegetable Soup has been a reader favorite for over 8 years now! It’s creamy, full of flavor and super comforting.
I have a secret for all my soups – sweat the vegetables. This simple technique adds loads of flavor to soups and stews!
All you need to do is chop up some carrots, onions, celery and garlic, then throw them into a large pot with a few tablespoons of melted butter or ghee. Put the lid on, and lower the heat as low as it will go, and leave it to cook on the stove for thirty minutes. This creates a smooth, buttery base layer for your soups and stews.
Here are some other soups you might enjoy!
