"The soup is easy, ready in 30 minutes, hearty, and healthy. It's packed with flavor, texture, and even for those who think that soup can't make a meal, this one will change your mind. To save time I used shredded rotisserie chicken. The beans add heartiness and protein while the kale, cabbage, and zucchini add texture. There's sweet Vidalia onions, garlic, and celery for a flavor boost.. I use low-sodium chicken broth, low-sodium beans, and add a bit of salt to the soup so I can control the overall salt level. The saltiness of low-sodium broth, beans, rotisserie chickens, and personal preferences for salt all vary so salt to taste...."
