Chicken & Vegie Soup

Hope to make this when back at home. Being ill in a holiday house is not easy!

Thanks for that CP I look forward to making it. No worries about the mistaken identity thing as I fully understand now how it came about. At the time I was totally bewildered but looking back now I can see exactly how it happened.  :oI just put my tuppence worth in at the wrong time. No harm done and Happy Cooking.  Loving my TMX and can't imagine it not being in my kitchen already.

It's supposed to be 38 here today but DD said she felt like soup and DH agreed. Therefore I have the air con on and this is cooking.

We had this for dinner tonight and loved it thanks. My daughter said it is the best soup yet and she is hard to please

Thanks charlieboy, I love hearing that children like soup - some won't have a bar of it.

I made this on Saturday but we ate it yesterday.Lovely soup Judy, enjoyed by us all.
My pulses need presoaking and because I was afraid they would harden if cooked in the initial hour so I added a tablespoon chicken stock paste in the final 15 minutes of cooking

I loved this soup, but my pulses were not cooked, next time I will soak them over night.

Good idea GHM, I have added that to the recipe.

Bumping . .Making this  today . .

Thanks for bumping this Goldfish  I made it for dinner tonight with pearl barley and chicken thighs. I chopped the chicken into large chunks which largely stayed intact. I hadn't defrosted the chicken before I started, so the chicken didn't cook in the soup as long as the recipe stated, but it was cooked though. I seasoned it with some celery salt and a few dried herbs.
Chicken soup was welcome in our family tonight as we have a good dose of winter coughs and colds. To top it off, my fussy DS who is not fond of soup actually enjoyed it and finished his whole bowl.  
There was a little left over, so I have popped in into containers for the freezer so I will have some easy lunches for work.

Chicken soup is perfect for your ailments ES and to hear DS actually ate and enjoyed it was music to my ears.  So many kids won't eat soup and it would be so good for them.

Judy - thanks for this recipe! It's a favourite - but tonight I didn't have turnip, celery so doubled up the zucchini and carrot, used 1 litre of water with 1 Tblsp vegetable stock and red lentils. - a lovely soup yet again and ideal for taking to work tomorrow for lunch!
