Vegetable soup with chicken

I inspired this soup recipe from cookbook called 400 Soups. I used chicken and added different vegetables.  It is easy to make it and very satisfying soup.

Ingredients
 1 chicken breast chopped small pieces
 1 onion chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped
1 zucchini chopped
2 carrot  chopped
2 celery stalk chopped
1 potato chopped
1 tomato chopped
1 can tomato sauce
1 can chicken stock
salt and pepper
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

Preparation Method
Heat the oil in a large pan ,add the onion and garlic cook for about 5 minutes and then add the chicken cook 5 more minutes.
Stir all the vegetables and chicken stock and tomato sauce. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, half cover the pan and simmer gently  for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender. Add more stock  or water if necessery.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir the basil. Taste for seasoning.
