Four Ingredient Soup Recipe

Soup is an easy dish to make and the fact that there are four ingredient soup recipes means that absolutely anyone is capable of making a tasty soup with ease, even a beginner home cook.

If you have the choice of opening a can of soup or creating a simple four ingredient soup, which do you think will be the tastiest? A canned soup often contains about twenty different ingredients but a lot of these are colorants, preservatives and fillers, so making your own soup is a healthier choice as well as a more economical and more flavorful one.

Some chicken soup recipes and other types of soup recipes are based on canned soups and you will use a canned soup as the base ingredient and add water, vegetables, fish or meat, and herbs or spices to finish it off.

However, there is a lot to be said for making soups from scratch and making soup is so easy that you really do not have to use a canned soup in the recipe. The following recipe for four ingredient chicken soup proves first of all that crockpot soups are extremely flavorful and secondly that you do not require lots of ingredients to give your soup flavor.

How to Make an Easy Crockpot Chicken Soup

This recipe has only four ingredients but the long cooking time, which is typical of crockpot cooking, means that all the flavors from the chicken and vegetables are extracted and the soup has plenty of flavor without requiring a lot of ingredients to be added to it. This chicken soup recipe makes enough soup for four servings.

You can, of course, add more ingredients if you want to. Celery is good in this four ingredient chicken soup, for example, and you might want to add some tomato paste, herbs, or spices. Alternatively, you can wait until it is cooked and then just add salt and pepper. Sometimes it is nice to eat a plain soup because you can really taste the wonderful pure chicken flavor.

You will need:


4 boneless chicken breasts
2 sliced onions
2 sliced carrots
1 pint chicken or vegetable broth

How to make it:

Arrange the vegetables over the base of the crockpot, and then add the chicken and broth on top. Cover and cook for nine hours on low or four hours on high. If you are cooking the soup on high, add another half cup of water. Remove the chicken breasts, shred them with a fork, and return the chicken to the crockpot.

To serve this soup, you might need to season it a little with salt and pepper. You can also add some cooked noodles or pasta shapes if you like, else enjoy the soup as it is, with some crusty bread or garlic bread on the side.
