Chicken Kale White Bean Soup Recipes

CHICKEN AND KALE SOUP WITH WHITE BEANS

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.

30-MINUTE KALE, WHITE BEAN & CHICKEN SOUP RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil, onion, celery, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently. Add the cabbage and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until cabbage wilts and softens. Stir intermittently. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, shredded chicken, cannellini beans, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, and boil about 5 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through. Add the kale, zucchini, optional lemon juice, and boil 1 to 2 minutes, or until kale has wilted and zucchini has softened. Taste soup and add salt or herbs, to taste. Amount of salt will vary based on how salty the brand of chicken broth used is, how salty the rotisserie chicken is, and personal preference. At any time while making the soup, if the overall liquid level is lower than you like and you prefer more broth, adding a cup or two of water is okay because at the end you will adjust the salt level. Serve immediately. Soup will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
