Kettle Cooked Chicken Soup Leave it to Trader Joe’s to sell homemade chicken soup made in small batches. This rich chicken stock is made from antibiotic-free chicken, fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices that have been slowly simmered to perfection, allowing the flavors to fully develop. Additional herbs are then steeped in the hot stock, and finally, chunks of chicken, carrots, celery, onions, and parsnips are stirred in to lend the soup the heartiness you crave on a blustery day.
