Vegetable soup with roasted chicken - -1/20/11

 

 Store bought roasted chicken are great but the breasts are always untouched and nobody is interested in eating white meat at our house.  So what to do with the breasts?  I usually cut them up in cubes and used them as topping for a salad or a vegetable soup.  Since we are in winter and the weather is cold outside, there is nothing better than a warm bowl of soup.  Use any kind of vegetables you have in your refrigerator!  I happened to have some carrots, potatoes, leaks, and cabbage so I use them all.  The soup is very simple to make but it is also very healthy! 

Serve the soup with a large piece of crusty bread or you can eat it just as is.
