Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider using bone-in chicken pieces and remove them before serving. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick. Serve the soup with a crusty loaf of Italian bread for a complete meal. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
