Gluten-free chicken soup with bacon, Brussels sprouts & beans recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 5 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve about 1 strip’s worth for garnish)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 cups gluten-free chicken broth, plus 1 cup water
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3/4 pound cooked chicken, shredded
Directions:
- Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. When crisp, remove and set aside. Remove most of the cooking fat, but leave about a tablespoon in the pot.
- Over medium heat, add the onion to the pot and cook for about 4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for a few more minutes, stirring and scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the garlic and cook for just about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth plus 1 cup of water, the thyme, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to simmer. Add the beans and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes.
- After 10 minutes of cooking, add the chicken and the crumbled bacon. Stir.
- Remove from the heat and serve in individual bowls garnished with the reserved crumbled bacon.
