Farmhouse Soup
With 8 different vegetables and bites of tender chicken every bite of this soup is chock full of goodness. You’ll love the flavor from the vegetable base. And the fact that you can make this soup in the slow cooker or Instant Pot makes it versatile to fit your needs. I ended up making this mid morning and letting it simmer all day in the slow cooker. We had no leftovers!

Notes/Tips
- Serve with dinner rolls, cornbread or French bread.
- This recipe is gluten free and dairy free if you don’t use oil instead of butter and don’t add the parmesan cheese on top.
- I used my 6 quart Ninja slow cooker. I like it because you can use the stovetop function on it to saute the onion right in the slow cooker.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with Better than Bouillon vegetable base are Instant Pot “Free” Soup and Instant Pot Energizer Soup.
