Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (or heavy cream)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups chopped kale or spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, making sure no lumps remain.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  7. Stir in coconut milk, shredded chicken, beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and kale.
  8. Simmer another 10–15 minutes, until everything is heated through and greens are wilted.
  9. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Coconut milk keeps it dairy-free, but you can swap in heavy cream for a richer flavor.
