Today I’m sharing my great grandmother’s chicken soup recipe, but with a high protein twist! This dish is so nostalgic for me and I love that I can pass along my family recipe while packing in fiber and protein!
SERVING SIZE: 4
THE RECIPE:
Prep your veggies by dicing your onion, celery, and carrots. I also recommend shredding your chicken beforehand so it’s ready to go!
Add butter into a stockpot over the stove on low-medium heat. Then add in your veggies and seasonings of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes.
Stir in your flour and add in your chicken broth.
Bring to a boil then bring back to low to medium heat if you increased it, and add your uncooked Barilla Protein+ stars to the pot. Simmer for 7-9 minutes then add your shredded chicken.
Add in half-and-half, and then one cup of drained and rinsed white beans.
Stir in your Better Than Bouillon and lemon juice and simmer for another 2-3 minutes or until the pasta is your preferred texture.
Then take one more cup of white beans, drained and rinsed, and put them into a blender. Pulse blend once or twice and then add them to the pot.
Stir and then serve with some fresh cracked pepper and shredded parmesan if you’d like! Then enjoy!! xx
