  • 1/2 cup chicken, cooked and chopped
  • 1 package mixed vegetables (10 ounce frozen)
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Put the tomatoes, potatoes and broth in the pot. Cook on medium heat until they boil.
  3. Add the onion. Turn the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients.
  5. Cover the pan.
  6. Cook for at least 5 more minutes over low heat until vegetables are tender.
