Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken and let it cook for about 20 minutes until fully cooked. Once done, take the chicken out, shred it, and return it to the pot.
- Toss in the mixed vegetables and let them simmer in the broth for 5-7 minutes until tender.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

- Serve hot and enjoy the warmth of this homemade classic!
Notes
For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a splash of chicken broth when reheating to maintain moisture.
