Grandpa sends me veggies from his huge garden every year and I use em for this soup, which has been called the best soup Ive ever eaten by friends. Its pretty unstructured and can change to meet your personal tastes. Its basically a chicken veggie soup; its the FRESH veggies that make it the best. I just throw stuff in until it looks and tastes the way I want it to. Its also GREAT if youre sick; I swear itll cure what ails ya YUM The longer you SLOWLY cook the soup, the more flavorful it becomes. I often eat a bowl while its simmering cause I cant wait.
Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup Ingredients
1 whole chicken, quartered
water, to cover
large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery with leaves, cut into chunks
3 cubes chicken bouillon
cup chopped fresh basil
cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
2 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 large turnip, diced
medium head cabbage, chopped
2 ears sweet corn, cut from cob
4 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tomato, chopped
How to Make Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup
Put chicken pieces in a large stockpot; pour enough water over chicken to cover completely. Add onion, celery, bouillon cubes, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.
Remove and discard celery chunks. Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool; cut as much meat as possible from the bones and chop roughly. Return chicken to stock.
Stir potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, and turnip into the soup; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cabbage, corn, green beans, and tomato; cook until the green beans are tender, 7 to 10 minutes more.

Grandpa's Garden Chicken Soup Reviews
I LOVE a good kitchen-sink recipe. Because I dont agree with changing a recipe then rating it, I made it exactly as written. Great healthy soup that tasted wonderful. Ill be making this one again.
Excellent recipe Thank you for the healthy comfort recipe.
The soup was very good but I did do a few things differently. I doubled the herbs, garlic and onion for more flavor as well as adding in other seasoning. I felt like the stock would have been bland without the extra. Great soup, will definitely be making this again
I followed the instructions to the T and after it was finished I tried it and was so sad. I was super bland So I added red robin seasoning, same thing as seasonal all essentially, and still felt like it was bland. I let it sit over night and the next morning it was AWESOME I guess after sitting and all the ingredients integrating over time was just what this recipe needed My 7 month old who is barely eating baby food loved this I mashed it up a bit and he cant get enough Yum I broke the recipe into thirds too. Two frozen containers for dinner two later times and one third now. Yum
Really good flavour by using the whole chicken. It all disappeared, so we all liked it, including baby.
Delicious Wonderful for mending and healing the tummy I didnt have kohlrabi, and chose not to use corn, and it still turned out delicious
This soup is pretty fantastic I made it as written, but w/o cabbage. My 3yo son smelled it and declared he was "starving for this stew" Only change I would make next time is to use all dark meat, as the breast meat got a little tough.
I just made it tonight and Im simply so thankful. Not to mention satisfied
Wow. Just wow. I did not have kohlrabi, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. This was absolutely FANTASTIC
This was perfect for a lot of my veggies from the garden. The only substitution I made was squash instead of potatoes. Sooo yummy
I wanted to use vegetables from my weekly produce box and use this recipe as a base. I made it as submitted and did not look at any reviews. Thats generally how I like to start as a recipe. My mix of vegetables was a bit different because I was using this recipe for what I had on hand. It worked very well and made a nice soup. For my tastes it needed much more chicken bouillon than listed. I ended up adding dissolving and adding another cube or two at the end and the broth was still too weak. I used a standard sized cube and would start with 8 next time I make the soup.
Im not the best cook but this came out fabulously. I had our butcher cut the chicken in 8ths instead of 4ths, and I cut the celery too small so just left it in. I didnt have parsley or green beans, but did have kale and spinach so I threw that in. I omitted black pepper and tomato since my hubby has GERD and these ingredients trigger it for him.
This was super yummy I have never had kohlrabi and had no idea what to do with it. I came across this recipe knowing that I wanted a soup of some kind. It was perfect My children and husband all ate seconds and agreed that we should make it again. Wonderful blend of veggies.
It was great... your only limited by whats in your garden or kitchen
Very healthy and great for those on low carb. I used turkey thighs instead of chicken and also used veggie stock (Swanson) to cook turkey in. Extra turnips instead of spuds, too YUMMY
I love this soup I used a chicken stock as base and switched potatoes for zucchini to make it a bit lighter.. It is very healthy and super fast to make Fresh green beens and fresh corn taste amazing, makes me never want to go back to frozen veggies I will definitely cool it again. Thank you for sharing the recipe
Hearty and chock full of veggies, this soup is a MEAL I did add more liquid, as well as bouillon, seasoned salt, and black pepper.
Absolutely delicious
Decent, but I appreciate using veggies I dont normally buy, like kohlrabi. I doubled the herbs as well. I would love tips for some extra zing
