CHICKEN, WHITE BEAN, SPINACH & PARMESAN SOUP
I had something very similar at a neighbors house and it was so delicious. After getting the recipe I played with it just a little, made some additions and have an even better version of the original. I hope you like it, too! For a quick, throw-it-together soup that is ready in practically no time, this is it.

Steps:
- 1. Cut raw chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Either brown in a little olive oil, in a Dutch oven, or set aside raw.
- 2. To Dutch oven add broth, granulated onion & garlic, corn and crushed red pepper; bring to a boil. *If you browned the chicken stir well to get the browned bits and drippings incorporated into the broth. Add chicken then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add diced tomatoes, V-8, beans to broth, stir and bring back to a simmer for 15 minutes.
- 4. Stir in baby spinach and basil. Continue cooking soup until spinach is wilted and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Taste and add salt & pepper as needed.
- 5. Ladle into bowls and top with Parm. Enjoy!
- 6. *TIP: For a richer flavor pan sear the chicken breasts before or after cutting into cubes. Brown on both sides in a 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil. When browned remove from pot and set aside. *Options: Use Turkey or Sweet Italian sausage instead of Chicken
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh chicken breasts, ripe tomatoes, and a flavorful cheese blend.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not dry. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the soup until it is smooth. This will ensure a creamy and consistent texture.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
Conclusion:
