Soup receipe

This is the one I started with a few years back:
Paula Dean Italian Chicken & Vegetable Soup
https://www.pauladeen.com/recipe/italian-chicken-and-vegetable-soup/
(Surprise - no butter! )
I like it because it doesn't have pasta, rice or potatoes, but it's still hearty and tasty.
And adding shredded parmesan just before serving adds a nice salty touch, so you don't need to add salt to the recipe.

But now every time I make it, it's a little different, depending on what's in my fridge and also because I like to "pump up the veggies." Here are some variations I have made:
Add italian seasoning (duh)
Add like 3x the carrots called for in the recipe
Add frozen string beans (break into pieces when frozen - easy!)
Use a roasted/rotisserie chicken carcass (i.e. leftovers) instead of boneless chicken breasts - toss in the whole carcass and then pull off the chicken & remove the bones when cooked (let cool first!)
Use whatever tomatoes I have: diced, whole, plum, fresh but about to go bad, etc.
I don't always have/use zucchini, but I do always have the can of tomatoes, which gives it the "Italian" flare.

You can make this in a dutch oven, any big pot, or an Instant Pot.

I love this Chinese Chicken and corn soup. You don’t need to make it in the TM. Just cook it in a pot on the stove. Delicious and only light in calories etc https://www.thermo.kitchen/chinese-chicken-soup-thermomix-recipe/
