Soul-Warming Chicken Soup Recipes

Skip the rigors of making flavorful stock from scratch by simply enriching store-bought chicken broth with aromatic vegetables and bones. It will help you cut down on cooking time when you want something warm and comforting.

Although this soup is made with just five ingredients, the cooking technique packs the soup with flavor. You start by poaching bone-in chicken thighs in chicken broth, which amps up the flavor of the broth and leaves you with meat so tender, it practically falls off the bone. A swirl of pesto at the end delivers a cheesy, herby hit and turns the soup a vibrant green.

An Instant Pot can handle a whole chicken, which is perfect for this comforting soup.

Turn a comfort food favorite, chicken pot pie, into a soup, and serve it with chips made from pie dough. It's fun to play around with the classics sometimes.
