Tips
If you can spare the calories, this soup can be topped with a little bit of grated parmesan when served. For an added bit of veggies, you can add chopped celery to the soup as well.
Directions
1. Place all beans, bean soup, water, chicken boullion, black pepper, oregano, italian seasoning, and salt in slow cooker. Stir and turn on low.
2. Melt butter substitute in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and carrots in butter until onions and carrots are slightly tender. Add to slow cooker.
3. Cook soup base on low for three or four hours.
4. Remove two cups of the solid ingredients from the soup and set aside. Place remainder of soup and broth in blender and blend till smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more water.
5. Place blended soup base back into the slow cooker, along with reserved 2 cups of cooked ingredients, spinach, chicken, mushrooms and lemon juice. Stir well.
6. Cook on low or medium heat for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, just long enough for the spinach, mushrooms, and chicken to cook within the soup.
