White Bean Chicken Soup

I suggested this soup for lunch with a friend recently. She was celebrating her birthday and striving to make healthy lifestyle changes. I thought this would be good, healthy and less tempting than choices at a restaurant. 

 

The recipe is from 
Gimme Some Oven
She has a lot of great recipes and is the daughter of cross stitch designer Lizzie Kate. 

 

It turned out really good. Comfort food. Not at all spicy. We added shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips. 

 

Gimme Some Oven 
5 Ingredient Easy White Chicken Chili 
4 servings 

6 c chicken stock
4 c cooked shredded chicken (I used the breast meat from a rotisserie chicken) 
2 15 oz cans Great Northern beans, drained (I used 3 as 2 didn't seem to be enough)
2 c (16oz) salsa verde 
2 tsp ground cumin

Additional toppings; diced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, crumbled tortilla chips

Add chicken stock, chicken, beans, salsa and cumin to a large stockpot, stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for at least 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm with desired toppings.
