More details for making chunky chicken-vegetable soup

Certainly, here are some additional details for making chunky chicken-vegetable soup:
1.    To cook the chicken breast, you can either bake it in the oven or boil it on the stove until it is fully cooked. Once it is cooked, let it cool slightly and then shred it using a fork.
2.    For the mixed vegetables, you can use your choice of fresh or frozen vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, zucchini, and squash. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces so that they will cook evenly in the soup.
3.    When adding the canned diced tomatoes to the soup, you can use either plain diced tomatoes or ones with added seasonings, such as Italian-style or fire-roasted.
4.    If you don't have dried thyme and basil on hand, you can use fresh herbs instead. Just chop up a few sprigs of each and add them to the soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
5.    If you want to make the soup even heartier, you can add some cooked rice or pasta to it just before serving.
6.    Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the soup on the stove or in the microwave before eating.
