What is Chicken Drumstick Vegetable Soup?
Chicken drumstick vegetable soup brings together chicken drumsticks and vegetables in a savoury broth. It is a home-style combination rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and the vegetables can vary with the season; carrots, potatoes and onions are common choices. The chicken may be left on the bone for serving or taken off and stirred back into the soup.
The broth is comforting and the cooked vegetables turn tender, making it an easy lunch or supper, often served with bread. It offers protein from the chicken along with some fibre from the vegetables, while remaining a relatively light soup. For a lighter bowl, use a modest amount of added fat and let each person season theirs at the table.
