# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 4 cups chicken broth
03 - 1 can (15 oz) white beans (such as cannellini), drained and rinsed
04 - 2 cups fresh spinach
05 - 2 large carrots, diced
06 - 1 medium onion, chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - Salt and pepper to taste
10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
11 - Crusty bread (for serving)

→ Herbs and Spices

12 - 1 tsp dried oregano
13 - 1 tsp dried thyme
14 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for spiciness)

# Instructions:

01 - In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and diced carrots. Sauté them for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
02 - Now it's time to add the minced garlic! Sauté it for another minute until it's fragrant. Then, sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together so the veggies are nicely seasoned.
03 - Next, place the chicken breasts into the pot, followed by pouring in the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to let it simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
04 - Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. This makes it nice and tender for the soup. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot with the rest of the soup.
05 - Now it's time to add the white beans and fresh spinach. Stir them into the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.
06 - Before serving, taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. This is a great time to make it just how you like!
07 - Serve your Tuscan Chicken Soup hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Don't forget to have some crusty bread on the side for dipping! Enjoy your comforting bowl of soup!
