Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 (11.8-ounce) bag Mediterranean blend vegetables (frozen)
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/2 medium onion, chopped
    1 teaspoon Italian herbs
    12 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
    1 (14.5-ounce) can no salt added tomatoes
    2 cups homemade or no salt added chicken broth

    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon prepared pesto or hummus

Tips

Make the soup vegetarian by swapping the chicken for a can of rinsed and drained chickpeas.

Stirring a spoonful of hummus into the soup makes it rich and creamy.


Directions

Prepare the Mediterranean vegetables according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, place a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil and, once hot, add the onion and the herbs. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes.
Once the veggies are ready, add them to the pot and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked chicken, tomatoes, and broth and cook for five minutes.
Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a teaspoon of pesto or hummus.

Serving Size: 4 servings (about 2 cups)

    I had to improvise with what I had on hand. Unable to locate the Mediterranean Blend Seasoned Steamers in my local store, I went with a non-seasoned blend of similar veggies, and tossed in 2 TB of Tastefully Simple Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto mix. Ate 1/2 serving with a salad. - 1/23/13

    So Easy...yet really good food. You can get creative, especially with those small bits of vegetables left in fridge.
    Better than fast food any day!
