I need to make a batch of chicken soup but I am looking for a soup that's a bit thicker in the broth. Anyone have ideas what to do to accomplish this? I'm using my regular recipe of chicken, chicken bones, squash, onions, potatoes, turnips, kohlrabi, a bunch of carrots, salt and pepper and a garlic cube. I want something hearty. Thanks in advance!

Place the chicken & vegetables in a soup net bag for easy removal, and once done, blend the chicken soup just with the peeled zucchini, onion and garlic until soup is smooth. Use more zucchini than usual in your soup this time.

Extra parsnip/turnip/onion/celery root/potato and immersion blend them.

I don't have an immersion blender. Stupid question but can I try a roux?

A roux can work but it can also break when heated again or clump when cold. Best to do this before the meal.

Make it chunky with cubes of veggies, chicken and noodles.

I cook my soup on a low boil for 8-10 hours. You lose a quarter of the pot. It’s Not necessarily much thicker but feels richer on the tongue.

I add sweet potato or butternut squash and put less water ends up being more mushy.

Same. It's a really rich broth.
