This is a basic chicken vegetable soup recipe turned up a notch with the addition of ginger. This version calls for basic soup mirepoix (carrots, celery, onions) but you can easily add more vegetables depending on what you have on hand such as chopped leafy greens, diced zucchini, fennel or shredded green cabbage. This is also a great way to incorporate leftover cooked chicken as long as the chicken was simply prepared and skinless (either baked, roasted plain, or poached).
This chicken vegetable soup recipe is extremely flexible as far as herbs and spices go, too—you can omit the ginger to make it a clean slate and add different ingredients according to the type of cuisine you like (i.e. tomatoes + rosemary + more garlic for Italian flavors, cilantro + cumin + chili pepper for Mexican flavors). The variations are endless but the basic method and ratios will stay the same.
