Ingredienser
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until it softens. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  • Place the chicken breast in the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the drained cannellini beans, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  • Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

Shred the chicken while it is still warm so it absorbs more broth flavor. If the soup thickens too much after sitting, add a splash of broth when reheating. Fresh parsley added at the end keeps its color and brightness.
