Hey friends! Let me tell you that this week has been super busy! On top of my regular working schedule, and being a mom and wife, I’ve also been recording a lot my holiday videos. Everything was going great.. I was on my A+ game, until two days ago! I woke up sick!! OMG, It never fails. I always get sick this time of the year… I’m talking about a serious headache, sneezing, coughing, muscle aches… Seriously, I felt ( starting to feel better now) like crap. So what did I do? I made some good old fashioned homemade soup! Nothing makes me feel better, than a nice big bowl of hot soup! Like seriously, there is something about the broth, and veggies that comfort me.
In this post I’m going to show you how to make a big ol’ pot of quick and easy chicken soup. You can make this soup on the stovetop or in the CrockPot. Let’s get started!
Being under the weather, there was no way in heck that I was going to be in the kitchen longer than 45 minutes ( and I’m talking about increments boo!). To make this recipe quick, and easy I used some of my goodies that were store in my freezer, and that INCLUDES a cooked chicken! Yup – I had a whole cooked chicken ( well not whole because I stole a wing… sue me) in my freezer that I just happened to cook, in the CrockPot, a few days prior… I also had some homemade chicken broth and vegetables in the freezer as well that I used for my soup. Once I gathered all of my ingredients I tossed EVERYTHING into a big pot, and place it over medium high heat… I could have easily put everything into my CrockPot, and set it on high for 4 hours, but my greedy butt didn’t want to wait- I was hungry! The total cooking time ( on the stovetop) took about 40 minutes..
Quick and Easy Chicken Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of cooked chicken

- 5 stalks of celery
- 8 cups of chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen carrots
- 1/4 cup of chopped Italian parsley
- 8 baby red potatoes sliced in halves
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
CrockPot:
- Toss everything into the CrockPot, and set it on high for 4 hours.
Stovetop:
- Place everything into the pot, and turn the heat up to medium high.

Hope you start feeling better soon Rosie! Love your recipes and blog.
Thanks Linda! I’m feeling much better 🙂
Your home made soups look delicious
Thank you!
I’m going to make pot tommorow for my family. Thanks. & Pray ur feeling better. I made ur Mac& cheese. For Superbowl Sunday OMG they killed it☺️ I added shrimp. Instead of Lobster. DELISH THANKS LUV
Thank you for the great recipe! I made it today and everyone in our family loved it! The only thing I changed was instead of using cut up corn on the cob I used 2 cups of frozen corn kernels. Quick, easy, healthy and delicious.
I love your recipes!!!
I’m glad that you liked the recipe Michal! I sometimes use frozen corn kernels too!!! XOXO
Dang Rosie, that’s messed up. I hope you feel better soon. About 8 years ago, I used to buy bags of tangerines and and oranges every week and I would make fresh-squeezed juice every day. My family and I didn’t get sick one time during the winter. I need to go back to buying those bags of citrus fruit again so that we don’t get sick this winter.
I’m feeling much better now, but I should try juicing! I have a juicer that I haven’t used in like forever. Thanks for the idea!
This was delicious and is super simple to make! Homemade chicken soup is the best when you or your loved one is sick! Glad you’re better now. I look forward to your Sunday and Wednesday posts Rosie. I feel like you’re a family member that comes to my home twice a week and shares family recipes passed down…Your food is good ‘ole southern comfort food that I grew up eating, but didn’t really have recipes for, and didn’t really make prior to my finding you a year ago with your Smothered Turkey Wings (You became my Hero with that-I told everyone I knew!). So Thanx Rosie!
This is such a sweet comment! I love feedback, and I’m glad that you come to my blog for your favorite foods! By the way, I just re-recorded my smothered turkey wings…It’s even better now!! Stay tuned! XOXO
Hey Rosie! This soup looks so bomb, it’s snowing here in Atlanta so I’m going to cook this today! Question, I am going to use my crock pot but I am using uncooked chicken and shrimp, and frozen corn on the cob quarters, would you still suggest i cook it for 4 hours or should I adjust the time?
You can cook it for 4 hours, but don’t add the shrimp until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
can you add noodles, do you have to cook them separately
You can add noodles during the last 10 minutes of cooking
I just made this and it is delicious! I made a few of modifications- I used frozen kernel corn, added chopped yellow onions, and made white rice and mixed it in with the soup. Super easy- I picked up a rotisserie chicken from my local grocery store. So good!
Glad that you liked the recipe!
I made this yesterday it was soooo good!! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us!
