Recipe of the Week
Light Creamy Tuscan Inspired Soup
Ingredients
- ½ c carrots, diced
- ½ c celery, diced
- ½ c onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- olive oil spray
- ½ c sundried tomatoes, packed in oil with herbs
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ¾ c dry white wine
- 4 c chicken broth/stock
- 15 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 c kale , packed
- 1 c fat free half and half
- 2 oz reduced fat cream cheese
- ½ c Pecorino Romano, grated
- 2 cooked chicken breast, shredded
- ¼ c basil, fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Dice the carrots, celery and onion. In a large pot, add olive oil spray and the diced vegetables. Cook on medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until tender.
- Mince the garlic and add it to the pot, cooking for 1 minute or until just fragrant.
Add the sundried tomatoes (they should be chopped into small pieces if not already sold that way) followed by the tomato paste. Stir to combine the flavors and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the white wine to deglaze the pot, scrapping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot from the cooking process.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Drain and rinse the beans. Cut the kale off the ribs and into bite sized pieces.
Add the beans and kale to the liquid. Stir in the half and half, cream cheese and Pecorino Romano until well combined. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
Shred the chicken breast and add it to the soup, followed by the fresh basil.
Simmer the soup for 10-15 minutes for all the flavors to combine.
