  • 1 package mixed vegetables (10 ounce frozen)
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Use only cooked chicken for this recipe.

  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.
