Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and add the beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken and simmer for 5 minutes to warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan if using.

Notes

If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin before shredding to keep the broth from getting greasy.
