Chicken and Kale Soup with White Beans image

This creamy yet low-fat soup gets its color from white beans and milk added to a simple chicken stock. Chunks of chicken breast, parsnips, and potatoes blend with the opaque base, while the deep-green hues of chopped kale and oregano offer bright contrast.

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 quarts Basic Chicken Stock for Chicken and Kale Soup
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 parsnips, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 large turnip, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 dried bay leaf
1 whole chicken breast
1 bunch fresh kale, stems discarded, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 can (15 1/2 ounces) white beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups low-fat (1 percent) milk

Steps:

  • In a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion and shallot; cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in flour, and continue stirring until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the chicken stock, and add potatoes, parsnips, turnip, bay leaf, and chicken breast. Cover, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Pull meat from bones, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Return chicken meat to skillet, and add kale and oregano. Cook until kale is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add beans to skillet, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in milk; cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not let soup boil or milk may curdle. Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf. Serve hot.
