Of course you can make this soup all year round, but fresh stock is especially nice in winter. It is anything but complicated, you just need some time. By using various spices that last for a long time, your broth gets flavor and you don't have to work with a stock cube. You can add salt to taste. This is ideal for people who have to eat without salt. Because we make a tasty broth without immediately opening the salt jar. I freeze this fresh chicken soup recipe without stock cubes in bags so that I always have something in stock!

As far as soup vegetables are concerned, you can really vary a lot. Nowadays you can often buy bags of pre-cut vegetables at a discount at the end of the day. And you can get started with that. This time I added a mix of “macaroni vegetables”. Instead of the classic soup vegetables. Want a little more spice? Then add some red pepper. The same goes for the spices. You can add all kinds of spices when you let the chicken legs steep into stock.
Below is the full recipe with ingredients. Have fun making the recipe below. Delicious bites!
