Recipe Notes
Thickener
If you want your soup a bit thicker, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and pour it into the soup. It will start to thicken instantly as it heats.
Use chicken stock
Adding chicken stock to the soup instead of water enhances the chicken flavor of the chicken vegetable soup.
