Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

• 2 celery stalks, sliced

• 6 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup cooked shredded chicken

• ½ cup cooked rice (white or brown)

• ¾ cup egg noodles (uncooked)

• ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon

Directions

• Sauté the base: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes, until veggies begin to soften.
• Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, add shredded chicken, rice, noodles, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

• 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

• 1 bay leaf

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach or kale

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Optional garnish: grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, crusty bread

Directions

• Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook 5–7 minutes, until softened.
• Add seasoning: Stir in thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
• Simmer: Add beans, broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes.
• Blend partially: Remove bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, blend part of the soup directly in the pot until creamy, leaving some beans and veggies whole. (Or transfer half to a blender and return to pot.)
• Finish: Stir in chopped greens and lemon juice. Simmer 3–5 more minutes until greens are wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan and parsley, if using. Serve hot with warm, crusty bread.

Notes

• No immersion blender? Just mash some beans with a spoon or blend a portion in a standard blender.
• Add protein: Stir in cooked sausage, shredded chicken, or pancetta if desired.
• Make it vegan: Use vegetable broth and skip the Parmesan.
• Freezer-friendly: Let soup cool completely before freezing in portions for up to 3 months.
