Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot
  • 1 Immersion Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breast
  • 32 Ounces Chicken Broth
  • 29 Ounces Cannellini Beans
  • 1 Cup Chopped Carrots
  • 1 Cup Chopped Celery
  • 1 Sweet Onion, Diced
  • ¾ Cup Buffalo Sauce I used Primal Kitchen No Dairy Buffalo Sauce.
  • 2-4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding chopped onions and minced garlic to the bottom of the large soup pot with olive oil. Sauté on medium heat until onions are translucent.
  • Next, add in cannellini beans, chicken broth, buffalo sauce, chicken breast, and salt. Stir together and cover the pot. Simmer on medium/low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover pot, remove chicken breast and add to a mixing bowl. Shred the chicken with two forks or a hand mixer.
  • Then use an immersion blender to create a thick, creamy broth. (You can also you a high-speed blende!)
  • Finally, add back in the shredded chicken with carrots and celery. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve hot!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Stir the soup occasionally to make sure the vegetables are not sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the broth. This is much easier, (and safer) than trying to pour the broth into a blender.
  • Use a hand mixer to save time on shredding the chicken! It will easily break apart the cooked chicken breast in minutes.
  • To cut vegetables evenly, use a vegetable chopper! It saves time and creates consistent sized vegetables. Check out this video to see it in action!
  • Do not cut the carrots & celery too big or it will take a while for them to cook.

How to Store Leftovers

You can freeze leftover soup in a freezer safe glass container. Make sure it’s cooled to room temperature before placing it in the freezer.
You can also store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
