Ingredients

    1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil ( or desired oil)
    1 cup, chopped Carrots, raw
    1.5 tsp Garlic
    1 Can Italian Diced Tomatoes
    .25 cup, chopped Onions, raw
    3 cup (8 fl oz) Chicken Broth
    1 Can Navy Beans
    3 cup Spinach, fresh
    2 serving Brown rice (1 cup cooked)
    12 oz Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breast
    Seasonings to taste: Salt, pepper, sage, basil, thyme
    1 fl oz Lemon Juice

Directions

1. Prepare rice & chicken ahead (I either get the grilled, cooked chicken from refrigerated section or canned chicken)
2. Throw all ingredients except chicken and rice in a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix and blitz either using a preset for a soup cycle or blend it on high for about 6 minutes. The purpose of the oil is to keep the soup from becoming too frothy)
3. Add chicken and rice, pulse on a low speed until the soup is the desired consistency.
4. If you don't have a high-powered blender, no worries. You could put all the ingredients in a regular blender and whiz til smooth and then heat on stove with beans and rice until heated through. If you have a hand blender, you can put all ingredients in a sauce pan or dutch oven, heat through, whiz with a hand blender and then, of course, add chicken and rice and heat until it's as hot as you want it.
4. Garnish as desired, serve and enjoy.
