Chicken, potato and vegetable soup FAQ:
The potatoes should simmer in the soup for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This timing ensures they are cooked through but not mushy.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Yes, you can substitute nonfat milk with whole milk, cream, or any non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk. Keep in mind that non-dairy options may slightly alter the flavor.
If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme instead. A rule of thumb is to use one-third the amount of dried herbs compared to fresh, so about 1/2 teaspoon should work well.
The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If checking without a thermometer, it should no longer be pink in the center and juices should run clear.
Cooking Tips:
- For added depth of flavor, you can roast the chicken breasts before adding them to the soup.
