Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes (natural)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs (natural) – basil, oregano, thyme
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat slightly and add diced chicken breast. Stir frequently until cooked through and lightly browned, sealing in the juiciness that will complement the rich broth.
  3. Add Liquids and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes (natural), stirring to combine with the chicken and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Season and Add Herbs: Sprinkle in Italian herbs (natural), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add a splash of grape juice to balance acidity and lighten the tomato’s richness, stirring well.
  5. Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent and Cheese: Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent to achieve a silky texture and stir in the plant-based cheese for a creamy touch that envelops every ingredient cohesively.
  6. Simmer and Serve: Let the soup simmer gently on low heat for 20–30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to develop fully. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs and vegetables to elevate the flavor beyond canned or dried options.
  • Do not overcook chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more vegetable broth or water if the soup becomes too thick.
  • Sauté aromatics well before adding liquids to build a deeper, richer taste foundation.
  • Allow the soup to rest off the heat for a few minutes to help flavors deepen even more.
