Not So Spicy Chicken Vegetable Soup

I have kids who don’t care for a lot of liquid in soup so this recipe worked out perfectly for them.  This recipe was the first in my  8 pounds of chicken, 5 meals project and is a perfect fall comfort food. It is also super easy for the slow cooker or can be made stove top. The beauty of this soup is you really can add any vegetables you have on hand. My cupboards were getting bare and with no time to grocery shop I threw what I had in and it worked.  It is also a great way to use up some vegetables that are getting soft or wilted.

I just have to say that I love my Calphalon 7 Qt. Digital Slow Cooker. It looks beautiful on my counter and works great. It has the space I need for large OR small meals and is easy to wash. I also love the shape as it is more rectangular rather than oval and fits in my cabinet beautifully.

I served the soup with our favorite biscuit recipe.
