Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 7 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 whole carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 31 oz white beans, drained
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 12 cups chicken stock, homemade or high quality store-bought
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken, rotisserie works well
- 3 cups baby kale leaves, thinly sliced
- 3 cups cooked rice, white or brown
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large, heavy stock pot, heat olive oil over medium high until hot. Add onion and stir 2-3 minutes just until translucent.
- Add garlic and stir 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add carrots and stir 2-3 minutes.
- Gently add white beans, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, stock, and shredded chicken.
- Bring to a low boil; cover and simmer 15-25 minutes or until carrots are tender. Add sliced kale leaves and simmer just until it's tender, 2-3 minutes.
- Ladle soup and a scoop of rice into individual bowls.
Notes
- Keep leftover soup and rice separate so the rice doesn't soak up all the broth. Reheat each separately before combining into individual bowls.
- When cooking the onions, garlic, and carrots, make sure to sauté them just until they're translucent or fragrant. This helps to release their flavors.
