Blending just the broth instead of the whole soup gives you that creamy texture without losing chunky bites of chicken and veggies—best of both worlds.
Variation Ideas

Supplies Used
Slow Cooker – This is a staple in my house! This soup works great for you to put everything in the slow cooker in the morning and have dinner ready by evening.
Instant Pot – Hands down my most used and loved appliance! I linked the 6 quart, which is plenty big for most families, but I upgraded to the 8 quart 3 years ago and love it! It takes up a good portion of pantry space but worth it to me. I like making big batches of food (like this soup!) so we always have plenty of leftovers
How to Store & Meal Prep
- Refrigerator: Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
- Meal Prep Tip: This soup thickens slightly as it sits, making it even better the next day.
If you want more cozy, protein-packed meals like this that are already macro-calculated and meal-prep friendly, this recipe fits right in with the Stay Fit Mom style of cooking. 💛
