Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to flavorful soup?

Building flavor in the soup is key to making a flavorful. A vital part of this is using a good stock or broth for your soup. Our Classic Chicken Vegetable Soup starts with a flavor-packed base or broth made using a whole chicken (the meat is used in the soup), as well as chicken parts like necks and backs. Also important is seasoning the soup as you cook. 

How to improve bland-tasting chicken soup

If the finished soup tastes bland, there are quick ways you can add flavor. Try stirring in a squeeze of lemon or lime or a splash of vinegar. Consider adding more salt.

Can you leave chicken soup on the stove all day?

No, the USDA and food safety experts say food should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours. Once you’ve made the soup, either serve it or wait for it to cool and then refrigerate. Do not refrigerate the soup while it is still hot.
