Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Swanson’s reduced-sodium chicken broth or your favorite, (32 oz container)
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed (½ inch cubes)
  • 1½ cups onions, chopped
  • 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, not defrosted (most include peas, carrots, green beans and corn)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, diced (12 ounces)
  • 1¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cup reduced-fat milk (2%)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch or 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, add the chicken broth, potatoes, and onions. Bring to a boil. Reduced heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in frozen vegetables and break up the frozen pieces, if necessary. Add the chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate small bowl, add cornstarch or flour. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk, until well blended. Keep mixing until the cornstarch or flour is completely dissolved.
  • Increase the soup heat to medium. Using a rubber spatula or wooden soup, so you don’t smash the potatoes, stir in milk/cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, to thicken. Stir often using the rubber spatula or wooden spoon. If it starts to boil, turn heat down to simmer.
