Editor's Note: There are few things more comforting than a bowl of Chicken Soup with Vegetables when you are sick or just feeling under the weather. This classic recipe includes a generous portion of chicken, as well as an assortment of vegetables and your choice of white wine or dry white French vermouth. Rich and filling, this easy make-ahead recipe can be reheated, so consider bringing leftovers to work the next day. If it is possible, consider making a second batch to keep stashed in the freezer the next time you're feeling sick. You'll be glad you did!

Thank you for posting the substitutions for the white wine. I love a good chicken soup recipe, especially for the winter when you often get so many sniffles and sneezes. There is just something about the steaming broth coming off of a bowl of fresh chicken noodles soup, or just chicken and veggies like this one. The noodles are option because it is the broth I love sipping.

Thanks so much! my mom decided to take me anyway she wanted it haha thank you though for the helpful tip! :)

In a recipe like this, you should feel free to leave out the wine. You can replace it with more stock, water, or leave it out entirely. Happy cooking!

What can i substitute the wine for, im not old enough to buy some on my own could someone help?
