Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken, beans, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, broth, 1 tsp salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, then cover.
  2. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until chicken shreds easily.
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, shred with two forks, and return to the slow cooker.
  4. Blend about 1 heaping cup of beans and broth until smooth, stir back into the soup, then add spinach and yogurt. Stir until spinach wilts and yogurt incorporates, about 2 minutes. Adjust salt.
  5. Ladle into bowls, top with black pepper, and serve hot.

Notes

If you prefer a thinner broth, add up to 1 extra cup of broth at the end with the spinach. The soup continues to thicken as it sits, so keep that in mind for leftovers.
