Fresh herbs & high quality veggies are the keys to the wonderful subtle deliciousness of this fall soup. Enjoy!
Be creative with your vegetable choices. See what's ready in the garden or at the farmers market! Other good choices might include rutabaga, parsnips, turnips, kale, collards, Swiss chard, garlic, leeks, celery, or celeriac.
Note: To save a step & save time, you could skip roasting the chicken and instead simmer it for a couple of hours to make the broth.
