PrintA rustic Italian soup with shredded chicken, cannellini beans, kale, and herbs simmered in a savory tomato-infused broth — hearty, healthy, and full of Tuscan flavor.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chopped kale or spinach
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Parmesan rind, grated parmesan for garnish
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrot, and celery for 5–7 minutes until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, then add broth, herbs, and parmesan rind if using.
Add shredded chicken and beans. Simmer for 20–25 minutes.
Stir in kale or spinach; cook 5 more minutes until wilted.
Remove herbs and rind. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot with parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
Add cooked pasta for heartiness. Freeze without greens and add fresh when reheating. Use chickpeas for a vegetarian twist.
