One-Pot Chicken Vegetable Soup
Especially this time of year, everyone loves a good pot of chicken noodle soup!
What I love about this soup recipe is that you can eat it without the carbs, or make it with pasta, too.
Ingredients for chicken soup
- 5-pound whole chicken
- Onions + carrots + celery + fennel
- Bay leaves
- Cloves of garlic
- Sprigs of thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- DeLallo pasta, your favorite kind!
- Fresh parsley
- Lemon
I chose to make DeLallo’s pasta, because we were wanting a comfort meal (on a chilly night).
This dish would be easy to make in a crockpot! Except, depending on your size of slow cooker, you may need to use a smaller whole chicken. Like a 2-3 pounder.
How to make One-Pot Chicken Soup
For this recipe, I used my LeCreuset pot, cooked on the stovetop.
Plop the whole, rinsed chicken in the bottom. Fill with a tiny bit of water, and cook for 30 minutes.
Add fennel to recipes
Then add the good stuff. All the veggies — carrots, celery, onion, and my favorite FENNEL. I love cooking with fennel! Love the licorice smell, and flavor. It really adds to recipes, if you’ve never cooked with it. Here are a few of my favorites: Sloppy Joes Recipe, Lentil Soup, and Orange Beet Fennel Salad.
After you add the spices and herbs, then you cook for 1 hour. Remove the chicken and shred.
It’s the most flavorful one-pot meal.
Either serve plain, or with pasta!
We love DeLallo, so of course I made a pot of Penne Rigate.
Oh, and the best part about this dish? You squeeze fresh lemon on top!
Oh, the flavor!
ENJOY!

Well, I’ve cooked whole chickens and made countless types of chicken soups, but I’ve never tried to make a soup in one pot with a whole chicken!!! Great idea and looks yummy. Thanks for sharing! Have a great week. :)
1-pot. Yes. Thanks for the simple but delicious recipe!
I’ve never made this in one pot, thanks for the inspiration, looks just great and makes just too much sense to not use this recipe from now on, thank you!
Great idea. I make chicken soup often (using one pot), but I usually cook the chicken completely by itself (with some chopped onion, celery, garlic), then take out, add veggies to pot and then add chicken back in. So I guess somewhat of the same idea…lol. great idea on the crockpot for college.
