Packed with fresh kale, chicken and white beans, this is such a hearty and comforting cold weather soup!
I have seriously been craving some (healthy) comfort food and this soup always hits the spot. By utilizing the convenience of a store-bought rotisserie chicken, this comes together in right under 30 minutes. YES!
This soup is completely packed FULL of flavor and is so easy to prepare. I love recycling leftover chicken and those store-bought rotisserie chickens come in so handy if you’re always busy and on the go (who isn’t?!).
Enjoy!
