• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and place the chicken breasts on the other side.

Step 6

Cook the chicken, turning once, until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and add the white beans to the pot.

Step 8

Season with dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken back into the soup.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 12

Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 13

Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 14

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
