  • 2 cans white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese just before serving. You can also substitute the chicken with leftover turkey for a different twist. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot. Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using low-sodium broth.
