"I wanted some soup one winter night and came up with this one using what I had on hand. I served it with toasted Italian bread and topped with parmesan cheese. Hope you enjoy it!"

How much dried thyme can be used in place of the fresh?
-
Is the Mrs. Dash intended to replace salt or something else?

I was wondering if this recipe could be done in a slow cooker, (crockpot style)?

This recipe is complete comfort food bliss for our family! I typically double it, adding lots more carrots and celery than listed, and a 20 oz. package of tortellini. I also add a large can of diced tomotoes and a couple of frozen cubes of basil. It's just as yummy as leftovers.

This has become my go-to "chicken soup" recipe. It's very filling, easy to make, and just plain tastes wonderful. I didn't have Mrs. Dash's so I substituted the same amount of Herbs de Provence, which gave the soup and nice, delicate flavor.

Used a bunch of Italian seasoning and some salt and pepper in place of the Mrs. Dash.

We really enjoyed this soup. I used boneless skinless thighs (DH's favorite) and browned them in a little olive oil. I then added the mushrooms to the "drippings" and sweated those until tender. I added the butter (increased to 4 tbsp) and sauteed the vegetables until soft and slightly carmelized. I didn't use the thyme or Mrs. Dash - just an all purpose seasoning. My last change was to add 1/2 cup dry white wine. I had picked up a loaf of french bread from a local bakery and it went great with the soup. I shared some with my neighbor and we all agreed this soup warmed our souls on a cold and dreary night.

Loved this recipe! It works great as a summer soup, too. And my family loved it, I just had to double the recipe. ??

I made this recipe and it was really good, everyone enjoyed it. I had to make a few changes - I didn't have any celery so I used a pablano pepper in place of it and used half the thyme as well as some cumin and dried cilantro to taste.

Delicious... and I love how it is substantial enough for a meal! It came together quickly even though I had to cook the chicken from its frozen state. Only change I made was to use green pepper instead of celery (personal preference) and it worked beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
