Chicken Vegetable Soup

My mum would make this AMAZING chicken soup for us as kids. It took a while but the result was soooo good and was perfect for a cold, wintery evening. I decided to take this recipe and revamp it a touch to make it a bit quicker to make and also I removed some of the more high energy carbohydrates that were in there too. The result is a healthy and very nutritious soup that will satisfy!
