I found this recipe on SkinnyTaste and adapted it to be more Weight Watcher friendly since I am still trying to shed a couple of holiday pounds before shorts season. The original recipe called for pasta but I substituted beans as a lower point alternative.
But even if you're not on a diet, the soup is delicious and filling. This recipe should make approximately four servings.
4 boneless skinless
chicken thighs
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small diced onion
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, sliced thinly
3 tsps. minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth
½ bay leaf
2 to 3 cups baby spinach
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
grated Parmesan for serving if desired
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small diced onion
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, sliced thinly
3 tsps. minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth
½ bay leaf
2 to 3 cups baby spinach
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
grated Parmesan for serving if desired
Season chicken with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic and sauté
for several minutes or until soft. Add
the chicken, broth, bay leaf and cannellini beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until
chicken is done, approximately 30 minutes.
Shred chicken and
return to pot. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Discard bay leaf. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan if desired.
