What's For Dinner Homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup


I love great deals and when I can get canned soups free or nearly free I grabbed them for a quick lunch. But nothing but nothing beats our homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup.
We buy 1 rotisserie Chicken every week for dinner, sandwiches and as a treat for Spooky the spoiled cat. Really it is for her and she shares.
We are nearing fall so felt like home made soup. Had my dh boil up the bones and make me broth.
Couple of days later time to throw together our soup.
To the broth we add some chicken, 1 small can of chopped Tomatoes, 1/2 tsp of salt , 1 tsp of pepper and a tsp of a mixture of onion and garlic. Let that simmer. Mean time I cook up 1 cup of macaroni shell, drain and add. I know that some think you can cook pasta in soup but I think it soaks up to much of my broth. 20 minutes before we plan to eat we throw in about 1/2 bag of mixed vegetables.
Delicious and we always get 2 good meals out of this. Just add crackers or some rolls.
