We made Italian chicken noodle soup with these ingredients:

• 1 c reduced-sodium chicken broth

• Canned, seasoned diced tomatoes

• 1/2 cup cooked whole-wheat pasta

• 3 oz cubed cooked chicken breast

• Fresh herbs

• Chopped scallions

Other ideas to try

• Canned diced tomatoes come in several varieties—choose fire-roasted to turn up the heat.

• Shred cooked chicken breasts instead of chopping them for a different texture.

• Look for mushroom broth as a nice change from regular vegetable broth.

• If you can't find broccoli slaw mix, opt for packaged coleslaw mix instead.
