    Chicken, Spinach, and White Bean Soup is a satisfying one-pot meal ready in 30 minutes that is full of protein, veggies, and flavor.

    This tasty soup takes less than 30 minutes, so even busy people can make this satisfying soup. The only prep work is cutting up the chicken into pieces. That's it. Easy peasy.

    I also love this soup because it is full of protein, veggies {tomatoes & spinach}, and lots of flavor. That way everyone in the family can be happy since it's healthy and delicious.

    Plus it freezes well, so if you're bombarded with food, just stick this in the freezer for those times that take-out seems like the only answer to your dinner issues.

    {Here are some other good freezer meals}

    • Most of the soups

    • Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole
    • Cheesy Bean Casserole
    • Italian Beef Skillet Pasta + Italian Stuffed Bell Peppers
    • Chicken & Roasted Poblano Casserole
    • Beef Enchiladas with Salsa Verde

    Hope you enjoy the soup!
