This soup is amazing! I cut the amount of broth and the spices in half and added only 2 cans of beans, as there are only 2 of us. Left the chilis out, because I didn’t have any. Best chicken soup I have had!

This soup was so bland.  It’s like the start of something good but needs more.  If I were to make it again, I would use 8 cups of chicken broth and add celery and spinach with the corn.  I would also double up some of the spices.Â
This is one of our favorite winter soups. At first, I was a little surprised by the inclusion of ginger, which seemed an unusual choice with the other spices, but it absolutely makes the flavor pop. Love this nice big recipe that leaves plenty for the freezer. Thanks!Â
Family said it was the best soup I’ve ever made. So full of flavour. I followed the recipe except for two additions: added fresh herbs from my garden and added 2 Tablespoons of tomato paste. Served with freshly baked buns. Keeper for sure. Thank you!

This soup was delicious. Â Even my son asked for leftovers for lunch. Â I made mine in an instant pot because the chicken was frozen and the beans were dry. Â I used 6 cups broth (half veggie half chicken m) because that is what fit in my Instant Pot. I also added a can of diced tomatoes.Â
I’m hoping I’m not the only one with this problem and maybe you or someone has a solution. When you highlight an ingredient in your recipe such as “chicken broth” when I print the recipe the highlighted area does not print. I understand the monetary advantage for you but it’s a pain to have to stop and write in different ingredients. Any solutions? I hope so. Love the ones I’ve made so far.
