Leftover chicken and veggies taking up space in your fridge and need a quick meal on a chilly night? A hearty soup may be just the ticket! All you need are those leftovers and a batch of Randall Beans Soup Base and you’ll be cookin’… literally.

Vegetable soup is a great quick-fix soup because unlike some soup recipes, it doesn’t typically require a lot of time set on the stove. Of course, you can always let it cook shorter or longer, depending on how you like the doneness of your vegetables.

Vegetable soup is also extremely hearty, healthy and delicious. It is great for warming up a chilly evening or fighting off the cold or flu. Because of the Randall Beans, you also know it is going to be full of plenty of protein.

In case you missed it, here is the recipe for our Randall Beans Soup Base featured in this recipe. Its versatility is really remarkable as the exact same base used in this Chicken and Vegetable Soup was also used in this delicious Smoked Ham and Bean Soup recipe. This base is also the perfect foundation for any other soup recipe you have in mind.
