This is my go-to chicken potato vegetable soup that I’ve been making for years. It’s not fancy, it’s not complicated, but it’s hearty, comforting, and perfect for seniors, busy people, or anyone who wants a budget-friendly meal prep idea. Frugal living tips. In this video, I show you exactly how I make my soup using: Boneless skinless chicken breast Baked potatoes (for a creamy, hearty texture) Mixed vegetables (with extra lima beans for nutrition) Canned chicken corn chowder and cheddar cheese soup Simple seasonings (low sodium options for heart health) This recipe came from a happy accident many years ago when I had to throw something together quickly—and after a few tries, it became one of my best comfort food recipes! I also share my real-life kitchen habits—like why I always wear an apron (I make a mess!), how I prep food in the morning when I have more energy, and how I portion and freeze meals for later. This is a great example of meal prepping for seniors or anyone who wants easy freezer meals ready to go.
