Health Highlights

Ingredients


2 medium leek(s) Leek (washed & sliced into 1/4 inch rounds)
2 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
6 cup Chicken broth (stock), low sodium
2 can (15oz) Cannellini beans, canned (drained & rinsed)
4 cup Rotisserie chicken breast, skinless (bones & skin discarded)
1/4 cup Parsley, fresh (chopped)
pinch Sea salt
pinch Black pepper

Instructions


  1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pot and set over medium-high heat. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. 

  2. Stir in the chicken stock, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add beans and chicken to the pot, lower heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and check seasonings, adjusting if necessary

 

Notes:

  • Soup is only as good as the ingredients used to make it. Here, opt for the best quality chicken stock your budget will allow you to purchase.
  • If garnishing soup with Parmesan cheese, slice off the rind and throw it into the pot with the chicken and beans for added flavour.
  • When serving the soup to babies and toddlers, transfer some of the soup mixture to a bowl or glass measuring cup and blitz with an immersion blender until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Soup can be made and stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days in advance.
