This hearty chicken vegetable soup is a recipe that has been passed down in our family for generations. My grandma always cooked it when someone was sick or just needed some cheering up. The scent that arises during cooking immediately reminds me of my childhood and cozy Sundays. The ingredients are deliberately kept simple, but each one plays an important role. The vegetable onion forms the basis for the aroma, the garlic provides a pleasant spice. The chicken meat (or turkey breast, depending on what is on offer) provides the proteins and makes the soup filling. The chicken broth is of course the be-all and end-all - best homemade, but a good broth from the jar will do. The soup vegetables, consisting of carrots, celery and leek, bring a variety of flavors and textures to the soup. The potatoes make the soup smoother and the green beans provide a crunchy component. Savory is my secret tip for this soup - it gives it a special, slightly tart note that goes perfectly with the other ingredients. Nutmeg rounds the whole thing off. When preparing it in the Thermomix®, it is important not to chop the onions and garlic too finely, otherwise they may burn. Sautéing the meat with the beans in reverse prevents the meat from falling apart. The remaining vegetables are added later so that they do not become too soft. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the vegetable pieces. It is best to try in between to see if the potatoes are cooked. If the soup is too thin, you can stir some potato starch with water and add it shortly before the end of cooking. This binds the soup and makes it creamier. If you like it vegetarian, you can simply omit the meat and add more vegetables instead, such as mushrooms or zucchini. For a vegan version, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Instead of savory, you can also use thyme or rosemary. If you like it spicier, you can add a pinch of chili. The soup is best served hot, garnished with fresh parsley. A piece of fresh bread or a roll goes well with it. If you like, you can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to the soup. The soup will keep in the fridge for about 2-3 days. It can also be frozen well. To reheat, simply heat in a pot or in the microwave. You can also prepare the soup well by cutting the vegetables and meat the day before. Then cooking will be even faster the next day.
