CANNED WHITE BEAN CHICKEN SOUP WITH ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
This white bean chicken soup was so easy to make!
We used already shredded rotisserie chicken to save time, which cost a bit more. But you could easily use a full rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred it yourself.
And even though it’s easy to cook your own beans from scratch, sometimes you need a last minute dinner. That’s when I grab the canned white beans.
This white bean soup is full of flavors – bacon, onion, garlic, and even a bit of lime for brightness.
Beans, potatoes, chicken, and arugula make it incredibly filling, more of a stew than a soup when it comes to broth ratio!
It’s also a soup that can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on the weather.
Make sure to leave the skins on your red potatoes. It saves you time, and adds tons of fiber and vitamins!
WHAT IS ARUGALA?
Arugula is a Mediterranean salad green that adds color and a peppery taste to this white bean chicken soup.
This one little green has a ton of health benefits. It is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron.
Not only that, but arugala can help lower levels of bad cholesterol and lower blood pressure!
