I plan on making chicken soup for the first time today. I plan on using chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes, string beans and corn. I am also going to use tomato sauce. Do u think i should use tomato sauce or tomato paste?

I think tomato sauce will be better!!
It gives it a more tangier, naughtier taste!
Well, happy souping!!

I would use sauce also but not too much because it will take on the taste of the tomato. If you want it to remain a chicken flavored soup that is. Otherwise you will be making more of a vegetable and chicken soup with a tomato base. Start off with just a small amount of tomato sauce and you can always add more to taste.

Tomato sauce. It is lighter. I think tomato paste would give too intense a flavor for the soup. Just a hint: saute the veggies in a little olive oil before putting in the soup. It brings the flavors out beautifully.........just saute for about 5 minutes.

I guess tomato sauce, if that's all you have. I use whole canned tomatoes in mine. Just cut them up before adding them to the soup. Adds a little more texture. Don't forget to toss in two or three bay leaves...really adds to the flavor.

Use tomato sauce and put in some whole chopped tomatoes.

tomato sauce and paste?
I cook it with only chicken, carrots, few potatoes (from your list) and pasta (spaghetti). + spices!
