Betty's 5-Minute Diet Chicken and Vegetable Soup Recipe

[sorchatocyw]

I am really not certain if it is the proper fat loss diet regime for any person, but DietOramy fat loss diet regime surely helps my mom eliminate all of that excess fat deposits. There is plenty free info on the web about that, just use Google...

[TheAryam1]

love your videos Betty thank you so much!

[TheSkillamers]

Very intrigued by this video honestly! I want to make this for my sister but I was wondering if there is any alternative to corn starch since my sister is allergic, she can't have it. Do you know if corn starch is really needed in the mixture or know of any alternative?

[bettyskitchen]

@TheSkillamers You may use flour.

--Betty :)

[poulardu]

I will be starting my diet soon, and I'm going to use this recipe, looks great. I have a question, can I add other vegetables, like broccoli, cabbage, and couple slice of potatoes? Not all at once but some days I'll alternate broccoli or cabbage but keeping the original recipe. And thanks for the recipe I hit jackpot when I found it.

[bettyskitchen]

@poulardu Yes, that's a great idea! Use mainly vegetables, limiting potatoes, pasta, rice, etc.

--Betty :)

[ThePinkMyth]

This came out perfectly! Thank you again, Betty! I need nice warm recipes to get me through the fall and winter while still watching calories. Something about a warm meal is so much more satisfying than a cold one.

[bettyskitchen]

@ThePinkMyth Thanks for your great comment! If you like chili, I have a nice vegetable chili.

--Betty :)

[ThePinkMyth]

@bettyskitchen

I will have to try that! Thank you!

[jdolani]

Love it!

[Greatersend]

I need to try this. Thanks a bunch and I'm farely new at cooking diet foods.

[bettyskitchen]

@Greatersend I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for commenting!

[jasper2276]

Hi Betty,

You must know by now that you're the absolute best!!!!

If you don't know it, I can assure you, your fans do.

I'm a fan, and I made this soup tonight (with a small variation, I added some stewed tomatoes). Verdict: FANTASTIC. Loved your channel from day 1 and have been

a fan since, well, day 1. Take care, and all the best.

[bettyskitchen]

@jasper2276 Thanks for your sweet comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[toddcalling]

Hi Betty :) We got our first gusts of chilly air here in Pensacola last night. I put this together for my lunch today and it is AWESOME. This is definitely a go-to recipe. Thanks so much!

Much love,

Todd

[bettyskitchen]

@toddcalling Hi Todd! It's so nice to hear from you! It's chilly here in KY, too! I'm glad you are finding some warmth from the Chicken and Vegetable Soup.

Sending my love,

--Betty :)

[edhunley]

Since I pressure can chicken and chicken stock when it's on sale I'm excited about this recipe. It will be very simple to make out of my food storage.

[bettyskitchen]

@edhunley This will be a wonderful use for your canned chicken and chicken stock!  Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[midcitygym]

tried, liked, 2 thumbs up, v good.

[bettyskitchen]

@midcitygym Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[youknowyoulikeit1000]

I'm going to try this today. I been trying so hard to lose weight before my trip to the bahamas in June :) Thanks Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

@youknowyoulikeit1000 This is really easy to make and it is very filling, without a lot of calories. I hope you enjoy the Bahamas!

--Betty :)

[BettinaBalser]

I am so excited about this. I am doing Weight Watchers and I have been looking for a soup I can eat throughout the day that is nourishing and low in WW "points." This fits the bill. If I eliminate the chicken and add even more vegetables, I can have this for pretty much 0 points. Thanks so much for posting. I love your channel.

[bettyskitchen]

@BettinaBalser Thanks for your kind comment. I also have a quick diet vegetable gumbo in bettyskitchen, if you might like that.

--Betty :)

[gbarriga1]

do u have to use cornstarch i dont have any, oh and about how much stock say is in there like in cup form.please and thank you. gloria

[bettyskitchen]

@gbarriga1 Hi Gloria! You can use flour instead of the cornstarch (or leave it out--the soup will thin). It's about 2 cups of chicken stock.

--Betty :)

[pleurons]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!

[charyd76]

I made this last night for dinner. I had left over and I had it for breakfast... it was soooo good!! Thanks Betty and Rick, you guys are awesome!

[jhof989620]

perfect..Im trying to drop some weight and need something filling but lo cal to go with my lunch thats quick to put together. Thanks.

[033152636]

where are spices and salt

[bettyskitchen]

@033152636 The chicken broth is known to be salty, so you don't need to add salt. The flavors blend together to make a great taste, so I don't add spice, other than freshly ground black pepper on the top. Of course, you can add some parsley, or dill, or rosemary--just whatever you like!

--Betty :)

[GIChiyo]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT BROTH BRAND!

I have been looking FOREVER for a low sodium broth. I really mean it THANKS! :D

[beautyofjamaica85]

looks lovely !!!!!

[eiightoheiight]

i love this recipe! something easy for a college kid like me :)

[LESTER7L1]

That looks tasty and easy to make Betty! thank you. That chunk chicken is nice.I have used it a lot.

[Nemie125]

Wow - this looks really nice, Betty! I will definately give this one a try this weekend. If you have any more low calories ideas, please do post them up! :)

[bettyskitchen]

@Nemie125 Thanks for your lovely comment! I will try to give more low calorie dishes, but I have to work in some regular, and even calorie-loaded recipes to meet everyone's needs!

--Betty  :)

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

Hi Betty, Just letting you know i made the soup and it was lovely, I used some leftover chicken (in th uk we dont have cannec chicken) and i used some canned veg and i watched this video a few times and i must tell you it is LOVELY, i think making soup this way is alot better then from a packet or can plus it's low calorie :) I made up about 4 days worth of soup so i will eat this for lunch each day :) Thanks Betty!

-Nina

xx

[bettyskitchen]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken Hi Nina! Thanks for your great feedback! This really is a nice soup to make a lot of at one time, and then have it for lunch a few times.  It's not something you get tired of quickly!

--Betty :)

[dayamsta]

@bettyskitchen just read this comment and it really bugs me that we dont have canned chicken in the UK:( !!beautiful foup Betty:) xx

[JimboJitsu]

Great video, so many great tips throughout the video! Loved the starch information! This is also a great way to avoid MSG in your soup! Very low calorie, easy to make, great video thanks for sharing!

[bettyskitchen]

@JimboJitsu Thanks for your nice comment, Jimbo! I know you have been terribly busy lately, and I do admire your work and generosity.

--Betty :)

[JimboJitsu]

@bettyskitchen

Thanks Betty that means a lot!

[skidmetal20]

you no i think i will do the chicken pot pie

[bettyskitchen]

@skidmetal20 The chicken pot pie is delicious, either with biscuits on top, or by using a ready-made pie crust--like a double crust pie--be sure to increase the calorie count by a lot if you use pie crust, but not too much with the biscuits.

--Betty :)

[PaisleyGiraffe]

I love simple recipes like this! There are some nights where you're just NOT in the mood to make a big, fancy dinner. Thanks so much for sharing! :D

[bettyskitchen]

@PaisleyGiraffe I am so glad that you liked the recipe! I hesitated about posting it, because it is so simple. But, I agree with you--sometimes I *don't* want to cook, but I don't want my family getting a fast food burger at 1800 calories (I think that's currently the top calorie count for a burger from a restaurant I won't mention). This is faster than getting fast food, plus it is hearty and tasty! Thanks so much for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[Mocatan2000]

Great!! I made the soup today, It turned out great!! To cut down on the salt. I cook the chicken and made the broth. Thanks!!!

[bettyskitchen]

@Mocatan2000 Thanks for your great feedback! It is great that you had freshly cooked chicken and broth! This soup is so versatile, you can easily make it to your own specifications and still keep the calories down!

--Betty :)

[MarIve9898]

I love soup , and this not only looks delicious , low calorie but also simple. Thanks! :)

[bettyskitchen]

@MarIve9898 Thanks for the lovely comment! I hope you enjoy the soup!

--Betty :)

[f4reeksho]

That looks really good!!! I was surprised to see you hold up a Walmart brand, you're always using Kroger & I spotted your dog in the background of this video lol

[bettyskitchen]

@f4reeksho Thanks! I actually think that the Walmart brand has the *best* flavor and lowest calorie count that you can find! (Remy will probably be the "star" of my next bloopers video; he just will *not* stay out of the kitchen when he smells food cooking, and he knows something is up when we are trying to shoot a video!)

--Betty :)

[Sylvia9990211]

I have gotten so many dinner ideas from your videos - I have been exposed to new ingredients and dishes which I wouldn't have if you didn't devote your time to make your videos - and for that I sincerely thank you :) (I don't even care about calories)

[bettyskitchen]

@Sylvia9990211 You are very welcome! Thanks for your encouraging comment!

--Betty :)

[MasterTubing]

Fantastic!

I loved the instant calorie calculations, lol. Your background in mathematics is reflected in your mental arithmetic, you're like a computer, lol.

[bettyskitchen]

@MasterTubing Well, I got it right the second time! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[Mocatan2000]

love it!! thanks! hope to c more low cal recipes!!

[bettyskitchen]

@Mocatan2000 I will be doing a varied mix of recipes, some light, some not so light. But, I never forget that some of you are looking for low calorie recipes!

--Betty :)

[Thetis101]

That looks delicious! And definitely a bonus considering the low calorie count and not very costly. Thank you for this Betty. :)

[bettyskitchen]

@Thetis101 You are welcome. This is one recipe that is really for everybody! You can adjust it to meet any specific needs, but it is quick, easy, inexpensive, hearty, but low in calories!

--Betty :)

[keolif]

you AWESOME....I will try:D I mean I will ask mom

[bettyskitchen]

@keolif I hope you get to try the soup! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[pacman211]

awesome, great idea for lunch at work!

[bettyskitchen]

@pacman211 Thanks! Enjoy!!!

--Betty  :)

[jms5353]

Betty this looks good I will have to try it! Thanks for the idea!

[bettyskitchen]

@jms5353 Thanks for your great comment! I hope you like the soup!

--Betty :)

[JessicaPersonalChef]

This is such an easy soup! Perfect to make when you don't have anything ready made. I will totally make it this summer! I use mostly salt free or low salt canned products :)

[bettyskitchen]

@JessicaPersonalChef Thanks for your lovely comment! Everyone should just adapt this recipe to their own needs, like you are doing with the low salt products. And, it is one of those recipes that you can have the ingredients on hand for when you just want to make your meal in 5 minutes!

--Betty :)

--Betty :)

[richardpeej]

Five stars from me too Betty - it looks a hearty bowl of soup and a very easy one to prepare. Thanks for sharing all these lovely videos, Richard :-)

[bettyskitchen]

@richardpeej Thanks for your great comment! This is a hearty soup--which is someimes hard for people to come up with while counting calories. But, you don't have to be on a diet to enjoy this one!

Take care, Richard,

--Betty :)

[Ragrog105]

Your ratings are disabled so 5 stars ***** I will surely be making this. I still need to lose weight and I love chicken soup. The stuff in the cans has way too much sodium. That's a no-no for me because I am already on 2 blood pressure medications.

[bettyskitchen]

@Ragrog105 Thanks for your sweet comment! Yes, you can make this using leftover chicken and fresh vegetables, and it will taste even better, but have the same calories! I hope you enjoy it!

--Betty :)

[Lizzie0120]

i do this all the time! but no broth...just as a chicken and vegetable salad and i add lemon

[bettyskitchen]

@Lizzie0120 That sounds great! Thanks for the tip!

--Betty :)

[mwcookie]

I am from Ireland what do you mean by biscuits because here that mean cookies here.

[WickeDFate4]

@mwcookie I think biscuits are scones.

[Smartass8504]

@WickeDFate4 @mwcookies

Yeah biscuits are kind of like buttermilk scones...just a little different. They're usually pretty soft. You can put butter and/or jam on them, eat them with gravy, eat them with sausage and cheese, etc. There's a good pic of one on wikipedia.

[bettyskitchen]

@WickeDFate4 Thanks for the explanation.

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@mwcookie Biscuits are a quick bread made from a batter and kneaded a few times, rolled, and cut into rounds. They are baked in an oven and are a little bit crisp on the outside, but fluffy inside. They are a type of bread, not sweet like cookies. We spread them with butter, marmelade, honey, etc.

--Betty :)

[lillyz18]

omg i ove soups and this is great

[bettyskitchen]

@lillyz18 Thanks!

--Betty :)

[markiemarkstyle]

Hey Betty! I'm having a party coming up (Eurovision Viewing Party [Eurovision = European song contest, it's huge over here]) and I wanted to ask you what kinds of food you would suggest? Can you come up with good finger foods that won't make a mess when people drop them on the carpet?

Great video, but Betty, out of all people, you're the last one who needs to watch their calories. Your body is perfect. You look like a 35 year old :D

[bettyskitchen]

@markiemarkstyle I have some finger sandwiches that you might like--my favorite is deviled ham and cream cheese with chives on rye (cut into strips), and then I have lots of things like 2 Ritz crackers spread with peanut butter and dipped in white chocolate--Yummy! No mess for either, and I have several of each type in bettyskitchen.

--Betty :)

--Betty :)

[aglanceatmyworld]

Great recipe! Thanks :)

[bettyskitchen]

@aglanceatmyworld Thanks for your lovely comment! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

that intro is rather neat betty, thumbs up as always lol

[bettyskitchen]

@FILMMAKERCHAP Thanks, but I can't take credit for it; a couple of great guys in Budapest, Hungary designed it and sent it to me!

--Betty  :)

[DivaDancer08]

hey betty! this is a great quick and easy recipe! i can't wait to try it out. could you make a video showing how you make your iced tea?

[bettyskitchen]

@DivaDancer08 Thanks! I do have a video on making iced tea. Just search for iced tea or pattern glass in bettyskitchen.

--Betty :)

[prutledge07]

I use just about the same thing to make chow mein but instead of the veg-all I use the canned mixed chinese vegetables and add bean sprouts.

[bettyskitchen]

@prutledge07 That sounds great! Thanks for a wonderful tip!

--Betty :)

[tuffydoodle]

I know what I'm having for lunch today! Not only do I watch my calories, I also eat gluten free so this meal is perfect! Thanks for posting!

[bettyskitchen]

@tuffydoodle I hope you enjoyed the soup--you can really keep track of your calories with this soup! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[Eyelure1]

Haha! I got a bit lost with all the number crunching there! The soup looks yummy though, thanks Betty x

[bettyskitchen]

@Eyelure1 I think I got the numbers right! It's such a hearty meal for so litttle calories!

--Betty :)

[kimeeehhh]

The soup looks great! I'm watching my calories and this is a great recipe for that

[bettyskitchen]

@kimeeehhh If you're a calorie counter, you can really keep track with this recipe! Enjoy!

--Betty :)

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

weee i can eat this with rice (: the chinese way XD we can neve have anymeal withoutn rice XD

[bettyskitchen]

@Xiia0Sn00pY This would be great with rice!

--Betty :)

[ideagirlconsulting]

great recipe for leftover chicken during a long holiday weekend, easy quick to make

[bettyskitchen]

@ideagirlconsulting Thanks for your great comment!

--betty :)

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

I am going to try this recipe because i love soups and i need to lose a few pounds so i will make a big vat up of it and have it for my lunch each day instead of my usual sandwich..Thanks for sharing Betty

-Nina x

[bettyskitchen]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken It is great for lunches. I can eat it day after day without getting tired of it! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[Yozi6414]

I love this! If a lot of people don't realize how great soup is for weight loss, even during the summer months!- Great vid.

[bettyskitchen]

@Yozi6414 Thanks! I use this soup all the time; I hope you enjoy it!

--Betty :)

[yazzysexyy]

love your vids~~~~ im here to stay as a fan ;)

[bettyskitchen]

@yazzysexyy Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[kcsinify]

i'm so glad i found your channel! i've got a lot of catching up to do on your recipes :)

[bettyskitchen]

@kcsinify Thanks for your lovely comment! I hope you enjoy the recipes!

--Betty :)

[Smartass8504]

Obviously fresh foods are healthier...Betty already said that in the video. However, fresh ingredients can be more expensive and will definitely take longer to cook...therefore...NOT a quick 5 minute soup.

[bettyskitchen]

@Smartass8504 Thanks, also, to you for emphasizing that this was just an idea for a quick soup for dieters that is delicious enough that anyone would like it! It was not intended to raise the question of canned foods vs. fresh foods.

--Betty :)

[derekbegins]

This is suppose to be a quick & easy diet food.. =)) but if you wanna make it even healthier, use fresh ingredients of course!

[bettyskitchen]

@derekbegins Thanks for understanding and vocalizing the whole point of the video! It was not about canned vegetables vs. fresh; it was just and idea for a low calorie meal that anyone can make either with leftover chicken and fresh vegetables, or canned chicken and canned vegetables!

--Betty :)

[DeniseH60]

Betty, I notice you drink iced tea quite often and I am curious. Do you drink it sweetened or unsweetened. I am trying to drink more tea for the health benefits but can't get past the taste for the unsweetened variety. This is a great option for a quick low cal meal. Thanks again!

[dburns163]

@DeniseH60 May I recommend "Wholesome Sweetners" organic blue agave, found at Costco and other food stores. I've replaced sugar with this for any recipes calling for sugar. It's 25% sweeter than sugar, so one would need to adjust for that.

[DeniseH60]

@dburns163 Thank you so much! I will try it.

[bettyskitchen]

@DeniseH60 You are welcome! I hope you enjoy the soup!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@dburns163 Thanks for providing this information!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@DeniseH60 I *never* put sugar in my iced tea; I drink so much tea that I would have a lot of unnecessary calories if I used sugar. I suggest that you use an artificial sweetener of your choice. It may not taste exactly like sugar, but you will adapt to it very quickly!

--Betty :)

[safehouse123]

This is just what i need for those "un der the weather" times, Thanks Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

@safehouse123 This soup is great for that purpose--just like Mom's Chicken Noodle Soup, a sure cure! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[Reddylion]

LOVE MEATS, chicken soup is amazing,is it because you titled it 5-Minute Diet Chicken and Vegetable Soup,you are using canned foods ? but try to use only fresh ingredients vs canned .love meat chicken dishes.make salads too.thanks.
