I turned to this hearty recipe after my husband had open-heart surgery. Filled with beans, veggies and chicken, it's chock full of fiber and lean protein to help fill us up. It makes a big batch so it's great to freeze for leftovers. -Elizabeth Wagner, Clio, Michigan

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made a big batch on the weekend and then reheated it throughout the week for lunch and dinner. It was just as delicious reheated as it was fresh.

I served this soup with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal. The bread was the perfect way to soak up all the delicious broth.
