I would make this soup again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would add more vegetables and I would use a different type of broth.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out way too thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned chicken and beans, and it still turned out great.

This chicken white bean soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the chicken and beans were tender. I added a bit of extra spinach and Parmesan cheese, and it was perfect.
