Lemon Chicken White Bean Soup

Step 1

Add the oil, celery, onion, and carrots to a soup pot and sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring so the flour dissolves.

Step 5

Add in the Italian seasoning, white beans, and pasta. Turn the heat up to high and let the soup come to a boil.

Step 6

Give it a stir, and then cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes (stir it a couple of times to ensure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot as it cooks).

Step 7

Add in the chicken, lemon juice (I add 2+ tablespoons since I like it very lemony), and spinach. Cook for another few minutes until it's heated thorough and the spinach has wilted. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
