How to make Italian Chicken Bean Soup?

You will need:

  • Hurst’s HamBeens Italian Bean Soup Mix (save the included seasoning packet for the end of cooking time)
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Add the chicken, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary and chicken broth. (WAIT TO ADD THE TOMATOES AND ITALIAN SEASONING PACKET)
Uncooked soup in the slow cooker. Rosemary spring on top.

How long to do I cook?

  • Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time. There are a lot of large beans in this and the longer cooking time is needed to soften them.

  • Remove the rosemary spring from the top (if you used a sprig).
  • Remove the chicken breasts onto a plate and cut into cubes (or shred) and add back into the soup.
  • Add the two cans of diced tomatoes and the included Italian seasoning packet.
  • Stir. Add salt to taste.

Can I use leftover turkey in this recipe?

      Don’t have some of your ingredients in England, but have found the nearest equivalents. Love your recipes, ready when I get home from work.

      The bean packet isn’t sold here in Australia. Is it possible to provide bean quantities so that we can make the soup? Thanks.

      Do you know the proportion of each bean? I’m not fond of using the seasoning packet, as there are too many non-food items that do not belong in my body. I may just mix the requisite amount of each bean and call it good. Thanks.

      Please, please create some recipes that don’t use meat or poultry. (or suggest substitutions). My body can no longer tolerate either. Any recipes that use fish, seafood, legumes/beans, & veggies would be great. I miss using my slow cooker. Thanks.
