Description

A nourishing and fulfilling chicken soup featuring sautéed vegetables and creamy cannellini beans, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups kale, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat until it gently shimmers.
  2. Add diced onions and carrots, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes; the onions will start to turn translucent.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until the aroma becomes warm and nutty.
  4. Add shredded chicken, cannellini beans, kale, and chicken broth to the pot; everything should blend harmoniously.
  5. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes; you’ll see the kale wilt and turn vibrant green.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot, enjoying the comforting warmth.

Notes

Serve with crusty whole-grain bread or top with fresh herbs for added flavor. Soup freezes well and can be stored up to 3 months.
