During the long cold winter, I’m always in the mood for a piping hot bowl of soup. And while opening up a can is super-convenient, making a pot from scratch is so much more satisfying. Take this Hearty Chicken Vegetable Soup recipe. It comes together with just a handful of ingredients. And our short-cut method makes it a snap to toss together.

We start by sauteing root veggies in a dash of olive oil. This simple step helps to caramelize natural sugars for another layer of flavor. We use carrot, onion, turnip and fennel. When cooked, fennel has a slightly sweet anise-like taste and that’s absolutely delicious. Now for the short-cuts — store-bought stock and rotisserie chicken! How easy is that. You can even toss in leftover cooked veggies. For a heartier meal simply stir in cooked rice, noodles, barley or other grains. Give it a try and leave us a comment below.
