Swiss Chard, Chicken and Bean Vegetable Soup

This is a little bowl full of health. Everyone in our house has been under the weather lately {along with everyone around us}. I was feeling a bit run down myself and I refuse to get sick {mom is not allowed}. So, I decided to nip-it-in-the-bud with a good wholesome bowl of soup and this definitely did the trick.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  
• 2 stalks celery, sliced
  
• 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups {cooked} shredded chicken {Tip! Buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli and shred}
• 1 {14 oz} can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 {14.5 oz} can stewed tomatoes, drained
• 1 bunch rainbow Swiss chard, rinsed and chopped {ends discarded}
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Combine chopped onion, celery and carrots. Saute until slightly tender {about 5 minutes}.
2. Add chicken broth and all other ingredients to pot. Stir.
   
3. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low for 30 to 45 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
   

Enjoy!
