Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed, for the cut-up fresh vegetables.

Purchasing & Storing Onions

Look for firm onions with smooth skins. Avoid onions that are spongy, or those that have sprouting bulbs or dark spots. Store onions in a cool dry well-ventilated place for 3 to 4 weeks. If you use only part of an onion, store remaining portion in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator and use within 4 days.

this soup is the BOMB! I added celery and onions like for a typical soup, and I used two packages of the italian dressing mix. One i used to season the chicken with and the other was for the broth. I LOVE IT!!! Definitely will be making this again.

Excellent and easy recipe. I added whole tomatoes cut into fours(adding the juice too) and canned potatoes drained. I used brown rice rather than white and added an extra 1/4 cup. Will be making this recipe often this winter!

The chicken, broth and veggies make a great soup. The addition of the salad dressing mix only made the soup taste like it was canned, almost stale. I won't add the next time I make this. I'll season it myself.

Eay and Delish! My husband loved it and asked me to make it again. We also have tried it with Ranch dressing mix. It worked out as well as the Italian.
