Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep chicken vegetable soup broth crystal clear?
Simmer gently over medium-low heat without allowing a rapid rolling boil, which emulsifies chicken fat and clouds broth. Skim any surface foam during the first 10 minutes of cooking.
Can I add potatoes or noodles to this soup?
Yes. Diced gold potatoes can simmer with the carrots, or cooked egg noodles can be ladled into bowls before pouring hot broth over them.
Can I freeze clear broth chicken vegetable soup?
Yes. Clear broth soups freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months in airtight containers. If freezing, slightly undercook zucchini so it retains firmness upon thawing.
